Dear members, I have seen members using Nothapodytes nimmoniana (Syn . Mappia foetida) in different posts, while they are two different species as per The Plant List.
As per The Plant List, these are two different accepted species as below: http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-50249349 (Nothapodytes foetida (Wight) Sleumer Syn: Mappia foetida (Wight) Miers) http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-50323224 (Nothapodytes nimmoniana (J. Graham) Mabb.) What's the correct name for the species found in India ? Is it Mappia foetida or Nothapodytes nimmoniana ?. May I request somebody to solve the mystery ? -- With regards, J.M.Garg ([email protected]) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
