Dinesh ji It would be interesting to resolve this mystery. Flora of British India records Potentilla sibbalii Hallier.f with following synonyms: 1. Potentilla sibbaldii Clairv 2. Potentilla sibbaldia Greiss. 3. Sibbaldia procumbens L. 4. Sibbaldia parviflora Willd. 5. Sibbaldia cuneata Edgew. 6. Sibbaldia cuneata Kunze
As it seems these are now considered under two species 1. Sibbaldia procumbens L. with synonyms Potentilla sibbaldia Greiss. , Potentilla sibbaldii Hallier.f., 2. Sibbaldia cuneata Hornem ex Kunze (Sibbaldia parviflora Willd. unresolved and Sibbaldia cuneata Edgew. not mentioned (in Fl. China or the Plant List) except as synonym of S. procumbens in Flora of Pakistan Both species are described in Flora of China and differ as under: S. procumbens: Petals shorter than sepals; floweringt stems prostrate or ascending, 4-30 cm tall; petiole pilose; flowers 4-6 mm in diam. S. cuneata: Petals equal or longer than sepals; flowering stems erect or ascending; 5-14 cm tall; petiole appressed pilose; flowers 5–7 mm in diam. Perhaps close up of flower can help resolve. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
