Hi, Good question ! Had me foxed for awhile. Checked Dr. Almeida's ' Flora of Maharashtra'. The main difference between the 2 being - while the stipules in C.ovata are minute, scale-like; in C. graveolens they are long, lanceolate-subulate. Spoke to Dr. Almeida. According to him the current trend in veering towards considering both the same. With regards, Neil Soares.

I also looked at your pics and I have a doubt. In Shahapur area I feel C. graveolens is the commoner species of the 2. Please enlighten me! best, Radha On Monday, July 2, 2012 11:16:07 AM UTC+5:30, Neha Singh wrote: Thanks Neil Sir n Ajinkya Ji, for the Id A very new species. for me. Regards Neha Singh
