In S. balanghas leaves elliptic -oblong and base obtuse or rounded. But in the posted image leaves show a oblong-ovate to obovate nature and more over base is subcordate with acuminate apex. It is the typical charcter of S. guttata -- Prabhu Kumar K M Scientist Plant Systematics & Genetic Resources Division Centre for Medicinal Plants Research (CMPR) & 'CMPR' Herbarium Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala Kottakkal, Malappuram E-mail: [email protected]
