Thanks Santosh ji for this interesting upload. The week, commencing on March 4, Monday should see interesting activity. I was about to write to you when I saw your this mail. Last year we had an interesting discussion which led us to conclude that Oxalis dehradunensis Raizada is a mere synym of O. latifolia Kunth.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Oxalis$20dehradunensis/indiantreepix/Xm0FRnWatfE/xrb2ZsFdVVMJ As is clear from original publication of Raizada, he suggested this name as new name for O. intermedia A. Rich, 1845 (1842) (non Steud., 1841). According to The Plant List, O. intermedia A. Rich. is synonym of O. latifolia Kunth., and consequently O. dehradunensis should also be its synonym (although as with most other names The Plant List considers O. dehradunensis Raizada as unresolved name: I am going to write to them. The Plant List conveniently ignores O. intermedia Steud., 1841 but it is listed in IPNI (Nomencl. Bot. [Steudel], ed. 2. ii. 240.). According to original publication of Raizada O. intermedia Steud. is a synonym of Biophytum intermedium (Steud.) Wight, but neither The original publication of Wight (I have checked the pdf of Wight's publication), nor FBI, nor The Plant List mention about (Steudel) Wight combination, nor the basionym. All just mention Biophytum intermedium Wight. Could you please throw light on this confusion. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
