Its likely to be Aporosa acuminata<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n

\n

Aporosa acuminata<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Yes Aporosa acuminata<\/i> of Euphorbiaceae<\/i> family<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I reiterate that <\/span>Aporosa indo-acuminata<\/i> Chakrab. & N.P.Balakr. in N.P.Balakr. et al., Fl. India 23: 369. 2012 of Kerala and Tamil Nadu is different and distinct from <\/span>A. acuminata<\/i> of Sri Lanka<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

I will check the same and get back to you. This plant is certainly A. acuminata<\/i> but another upload from Mudumalai would not be A. indo-acuminata<\/i> that is A. lindleana<\/i> only<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thank you all, for the id; how could we differentiate this from Aporosa lindleyana<\/i> (Wight) Baill.?<\/p>\n

\n

See the attached document.\u00a0Aporosa.doc<\/p>\n

This could be Aporosa lindleyana<\/i><\/p>\n
