Good morning Sir Yes Sir, I think earlier I overlooked the possibility because of the leaves. Yesterday as I was going through the 'Flora Indica', your book and the pdf http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/103/02/0178.pdf, for one more time, I noted the words, 1) "... male flowers on a different plant, axillary, solitary, ..... blown up spathe like bract at the apex, which encloses the bottom of the flowers..." in Flora Indica; 2) "lanceolate-linear, less than 2mm broad calyx lobes" in your book; and 3) leaf photograph in the plate 'b' in the linked pdf gave me the final clue.
Thank you very much. Regards On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 11:38 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > I think you got it Surajit ji finally.
