This is very interesting. The local people call it Kate Adulsa and Adulsa is for Adathoda I assume. Kate if you translate in Latin is "cuspidate" means spine bearing or pointed. So basically locals know that they belong to same family without any professional botanical expertise. I have some pic of same from Himalaya. Will find out and share soon. Thanks for sharing. Pankaj
