Yes, it is


Thanks, …, for id as Sonerila kanjilasseriensis as per Novataxa
Sonerila being a bit complex, …, may confirm or otherwise as per this publication.
For me it appears close.


This is nothing but Sonerila sahyadrica, but the same species appeared as S. kanjirasseriensis in Kew Bullettin. It might be happened when a foreign reviewer inadvertently overlooked it. Any how I have submitted a formal reduction of this species in Phytotaxa recently. It is under review now.


Please read it as Sonerila kanjilasseriensis


Is it S. sahyadrica or S. kanjilesseriensis, please confirm


Sonerila sahyadrica

It appears to be same, which you recently posted at Sonerila sahyadrica


White doted leaves are of S. sahyadrica, not lite green shade in center of this plant, … Please check the fourth image of second post, kind regards, Sam.


Leaf colouration is quite variable for Sonerila species.


Leaf colour is out of considering, I agreed that my plant is Sonerila sahyadrica,
