Interesting Neil ji This seems to be supporting what Satish ji and Flora of China report. Perhaps Hooker, etc. were ignoring these glands on petiole and just concentrating on glands at the tip of petiole tip, or they what they called glands on petiole tip would be just these, an interesting thing to investigate. It would be a good exercise if all members concentrate on this aspect, or some really find a Baheda with glands near the tip of petiole.
