Garg ji, The nomenclature of this group may be confusing. I believe that some of the posts labeled as Embelia basaal in this page<https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/po/primulaceae/embelia/embelia-basaal>are probably of E. tsjeriam-cottam, if I am right. Any botanical name here without the author citation might cause confusion.
Few authors consider *Embelia basaal* auct. non Roem. & Schult. and *E. tsjeriam-cottam* (Roem. & Schult.) DC. as one and the same. However, Wadhwa & Sumithraarachchi (in Revised Handbook to the Flora of Ceylon-vol 13) have tried to clear the confusion by making a new combination for the first species as *Embelia aurantiaca* (Wall.) Wadhwa. They have also provided a detailed note on the nomenclature issue of this complex. But, for some (unpublished?) reason, this name is now listed as synonym of* Embelia* * drupacea* (Dennst.) M.R.Almeida & S.M.Almeida and this name has still not been recognized by GRIN. We should probably need to revisit Embelia in our records.
