Oudhia ji Unfortunately there are huge mistakes in the Plant List. Till date I have written them nearly six letters pointing more than 500 errors and ommisions. Unfortunately many Indian taxa and their names are missing totally from the List. There is no one to own responsibility and I don't know how this confusion will be solved. At present we have just to pick up what is more recent in taxonomic and nomenclatural status of our plants. The Plant List people have not bothered to even copy whole of IPNI in what they claim a "Complete List of World Plants"
