Dear Tanay ... many thanks for discussing this point. Normally I look up The Plants List for checking status of synonymy. But the update at NPGS / GRIN<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ars-grin.gov%2Fcgi-bin%2Fnpgs%2Fhtml%2Ftaxon.pl%3F464803&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdW0ke3x_Av0HsFLCHSnDrlzJ20bg>shows Euploca ovalifolia ... Name verified on: *31-Mar-2012* by ARS Systematic Botanists. Not sure if this update is yet considered at The Plants List. Hence the query.
