“To solve this mystery some one will have to procure paper by Mabberley in Taxon 29: 606. 1980. This may provide us the real clue. At this stage I have to state just this much 1. In Flora of British India four species of Mappia are described all from Western Peninsula and hills of South India: Mappia foetida Miers M. ovata Miers M. tomentosa Miers M. oblonga Miers 2. Mappia foetida of Miers is different from Stemonurus foetidus Wight on which combination Nothapodytes foetida (Wight) Sleumer is made -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh” “As far as I remember, in 'Flora of India' (BSI), Mappia foetida has been treated under Nothapodytes nimmoniana. But I too believe that these plants need to be carefully worked out once again. Regards, Ritesh.” “Please find attached herewith the requested paper and It says; "Nothapodytes foetida (Wight) Sleumer (Icacinaceae) =N. nimmoniana (J. Grah.) Mabberley (Premna nimmoniata J. Grah., Cat. PI. Bombay: 155 (1839))". Regards, Giby” On 14 September 2011 17:57, J.M. Garg <jmga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear members, > I have seen members using Nothapodytes nimmoniana (Syn .
