And we have also learnt that Kakrol (and not Gol-kakrol-M.
cochinchinensis), which is such a common vegetable in India mostly remained
burried under M. dioica (and somewhat under M. cochinchinensis because of
name kakrol) in FBI (which lists both M. renigera Wall. and M. subangulata
as synonyms of M. dioica) and subsequent Indian books. Useful Plants of
India (CSIR) does not list M. renigera, but uses both names kakrol and
gol-kakrol for M. cochinchinensis. The all important book on vegetable
crops by Gopalakrishnan gives long list of differences between M. dioica
and M. cochinchinensis (Kakrol) but totally silent about M. renigera.
We are not alone in this confusion. M. dioica does not grown in China
but has been reported in most Chinese Floras as misidentification of M
renigera (now M. subangulata subsp. renigera).
