Dear H S Yes many Himalayan Plants are found in Western Ghats and vice versa, but when we say an endemic plant, its occurrence in another place is always interesting, for the plant may no longer be called as endemic to Western Ghats, if it occurs naturally in another far separated region. That is why I wanted this identification to be verified carefully. Could you kindly give a key separating it from A. aspera and bidentata? as I am not familiar with this species. It should help. May be we can then request Alok ji to focus on those parts of the plant. It would be a great discovery to have this species in Himalayas.
