The suggestion of Swamiji prompted Balakrishnan Sir to arrive at such a conclusion and nobody thought of this possbillity so far. Now that attention is drawn on Euphorbia nutans, I am sure it is a matter of time only when the status of the species, i.e. E. nutans will be clarified. As suggested by Dr. Balakrishnan, there is a need for detailed studies. E. hypericifolia, E. hyssopifolia and E. indica are all closely related species having narrow differences. Hence further critical studies on the complex are desirable. Regards, Tapas.
