Thanks Gurcharan ji for the initiative. The list is exhaustive! I think *Abelmoschus tuberculatus* Pal & Singh and *Abelmoschus moschatus*subsp. *tuberosus *(Span.) Borss.Waalk. may be added to the list (Ref. GRIN).
I am not sure of the current status of* Abelmoschus* *manihot* subsp. * tetraphyllus* var. *megaspermus* Hemadri And, for the name Hibiscus angulosus in the list,* Abelmoschus** angulosus* Wall. ex Wight & Arn. seem to be the accepted name (GRIN & TPL).
