Yes from me.<\/p>\n

\n

As per keys given by you in\u00a0MS,Jan.,2021\/20 Lasianthus sp. ? for id.<\/span><\/a>, it will be either L.hookeri<\/em> or L.lucidus<\/em>, depending on the no. of pyrenees\u00a0(i.e. stones) inside the fruit.
\nCan you check the no. inside the fruit?<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

No, sir<\/p>\n

\n

Can you post description of both species i.e.\u00a0L.hookeri<\/a>\u00a0(one<\/a>,\u00a0two<\/a>) or\u00a0L.lucidus<\/a>\u00a0(one<\/a>,\u00a0two<\/a>) as I am unable to decide based on specimens in POWO?<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Checked but could not decide.
\nMay I request you to pl. post high res. images to check further.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n2 high res. images.<\/p>\n

\n

I think it is closer to\u00a0L.lucidus<\/a>\u00a0as per description.<\/p>\n
