Dear members,
Is the name correct? or does it have any revised synonym? This plant is Bupleurum wightii, but in the link you will get hold the page related to Bupleurum from the Flora of Eastern Ghat from there u may also get the name of two new indian species. I hope this can be any Bupleurum species. .
FOR VALIDATION ::
¿ Bupleurum distichophyllum Wight & Arn. ? The Nilgiris :: Jan 29, 2026 · 5:16 PM IST
Hullatti, about 1378 m asl Please check Bupleurum wightii Koso-Pol. I strongly think my suggestion is a better candidate. It has lax inflorescence.
Bupleurum wightii Koso-Pol. syn. of Bupleurum ramosissimum Wight & Arn.
https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:839355-1/images has denser inflorescence.
To me appears close to specimen of Bupleurum mucronatum at
https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=1758&cat=13 In the posted plant, I can see that the leaves are clearly seen in two rows (distichous), which is the distinguishing feature of B. distichophyllum.
We will require ID to be validated.
It matches well with specimens of Bupleurum mucronatum at GBIF: See other aspects also. That may be common to many species. https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:839355-1 ??? Lower leaves are long but not as broad as in the posted plant. Hope you have seen and agree to the following:
“See other aspects also. That may be common to many species.
Your posted plant does not match with GBIF specimens of Bupleurum distichophyllum Wight & Arn. at

https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=1758&cat=13“ I have seen, but not all of them, for want of time. I am not yet agreeing 🙂
We will wait for some time until I finish uploading my observations of the Nilgiri region.
Bupleurum distichophyllum Wight & Arn.
Many thanks to … for validating the ID in iNaturalist.
