Dr. Singh-- Thank you for the clarification. I was hoping that The Plant List was going to be the best "go to" resource for updated nomenclature, but I have had issues with some of their names-- some not updated, some "jumping the gun" expecting that new names would become accepted (based on data not yet reviewed).

The GRIN Record has been updated on 17 May, 2011 and considers Lysiphyllum hookeri as accepted name: Bauhinia hookeri F. Muell. (=Lysiphyllum hookeri (F. Muell.)

Both B. hookeri and L. hookeri are listed as valid in The Plant List. Australian native. Shrubby here in the US, but more tree-like where native. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z93/fastfeat/DSC05592.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z93/fastfeat/DSC05595.jpg Regards-- Ken.
