Sir, I apologize for any audacity i have expressed in my earlier mails.
Being only an amateur photographer i only try to compare images with those available in the net and take help in this group to know the id of plants i see around me. I thought this plant is the same what had been recorded in "Bengal Plants" as *Mallotus albus* Muell.-Arg. I am very sorry for my last email and i understand that photographic comparison or Flora of China is not the last word. Thank you very much.
