Dear Sir, I request you to follow the undermentioned steps for satisfactory identification of your photographs which is without any voucher specimen (and you are not satisfied with the identification): First, please try to learn the range of variation of a widespread species. Just forget about the flowering and fruiting time. Do you think that it is a new species as it is differing from Flora of China. Then just publish it. Second, instead of looking at Flora of China, please consult the following publication: The family Euphorbiaceae in India by N.P.Balakrishnan and T. Chakrabarty, published in 2007 by Bishen Singh Mahendra Pal Singh, Dehra Dun. Third, please collect a specimen of your object and preserve it. Next, visit Central National Herbarium, Howrah one day and compare your specimen with the specimens of Mallotus repandus. I hope, you will get the identity of your photographs. Please remember that photographic identification is never authentic. Regards, T. Chakrabarty.
