Sir Agree with your observations. As it is being identified as E leavis by us/our teachers and none of the flora of haryana by Jain etal as well as Kumar reported E obtusifolia from Haryana, so we have not even tried to think about other sp. Perhaps a great mistake. one more thing it is very common in Karnal Panipat distriact so a how a taxonomist can skip this while working on flora of such a small and easily approachable state. Thanks for clarifying the situation. However i will try to visit that place again to see the situation Again (Tree/shrub) Thanks
