Last year I had an opportunity to talk to Prof. Mats Thulin of Uppasala Universty, while discussing of Boswellia ovalifoliolata, he said if it is a true endemic, there must be some other endemic species in the area, then it will not be in association with common species of the area; it is true, in A.P. Seshachalam and Velugonda hills harbours majority of endemics of the state; B.serrata and B.Ovalifolialata are never seen in same vicinity. thank you for enlightenment and provide a chance to express my observations.
