“*To solve this mystery some one will have to procure paper by Mabberley in
Taxon 29: 606. 1980.*
This may provide us the real clue. At this stage I have to state just this
much
1. In Flora of British India four species of Mappia are described all from
Western Peninsula and hills of South India:
Mappia foetida Miers
M. ovata Miers
M. tomentosa Miers
M. oblonga Miers
2. Mappia foetida of Miers is different from Stemonurus foetidus Wight on
which combination Nothapodytes foetida (Wight) Sleumer is made
-- Dr. Gurcharan Singh”
“As far as I remember, in 'Flora of India' (BSI), Mappia foetida has been
treated under Nothapodytes nimmoniana. But I too believe that these plants
need to be carefully worked out once again.

Ritesh.”
“*Please find attached herewith the requested paper and It says;
*"Nothapodytes foetida (Wight) Sleumer (Icacinaceae) =N. nimmoniana

Dear members,
I have seen members using Nothapodytes nimmoniana (Syn . Mappia foetida) in
different posts, while they are two different species as per The Plant List.
As per The Plant List, these are two different accepted species as below:
http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-50249349 (Nothapodytes foetida
(Wight) Sleumer Syn: Mappia foetida (Wight) Miers)
http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-50323224 (Nothapodytes
nimmoniana (J. Graham) Mabb.)
What's the correct name for the species found in India ?
Is it Mappia foetida or Nothapodytes nimmoniana ?.
May I request somebody to solve the mystery ?
