Gymnosporia emarginata (Willd.) Thwaites (As per efi thread (Gymnosporia emarginata is now considered an endemic species to southern India and Sri Lanka, and have relatively small leaves with usually a small notch in the leaf apex or is acute. The base of leaves are cordate and almost sessile or very short petioles. Gymnosporia montana is closely related to Gymnosporia senegalensis but has larger and broader leaves. This grows in the southern India. Gymnosporia senegalensis is a widespread species from South Africa, whole of Africa to Pakistan and North Western India. This has usually narrower leaves)        
Gymnosporia thomsonii Kurz (Central & E. Himalaya to Myanmar: Assam, East Himalaya, Myanmar, Nepal as per POWO) . I confirmed this with Ms Jordaan, the authority on the genus Gymnosporia. ….. According to a number of studies it is now very clear there is no species of Maytenus in India or anywhere else but South America.

Reinstatement of Gymnosporia (Celastraceae): implications for the Flora Malesiana region Marie Jordaan and A.E. van Wyk Pdf): Telopea 10(1): 155–167.
Abstract- The reinstatement of the genus Gymnosporia, comprising all the spiny members previously included in the genus Maytenus, has implications for the Flora Malesiana region. An account is given of six species and two varieties in the region (Gymnosporia curtisii, G. diversifolia, G. inermis, G. littoralis, G. nitida, G. spinosa var. spinosa and var. parva). The new combination G. littoralis (Backer) Jordaan is made (based on Gymnosporia montana var. littoralis) and a neotype and lectotype designated for two other taxa. G. emarginata from India and Sri Lanka is also included since this name was previously misapplied to plants in the Flora Malesiana region. Maytenus rapakir is mentioned as probably belonging to Gymnosporia. Maytenus cupularis, which has a racemose inflorescence, is related to the Australian species of Maytenus s. lat. and is retained in Maytenus. . An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India By K. M.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Gymnosporia
Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other databases/ books.
Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.
Any comments are welcome.
Great work … salutes to your tireless efforts….

Some of them are now placed in Gymnosporia genus, some are accepted in Maytenus genus while some are unresolved names in The Plant List 2013.
