Thanks, Rawat ji. It's taxonomy seems quite confusing: FOP gives *Potentilla cuneifolia *Bertol. <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242424630> with *Potentilla* *ambigua* Cambess. <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242340968> as synonym with the following remarks: "*Potentilla ambigua* Cambess. (1844) non Gaud. (1828) is an illegitimate name because *Potentilla cuneata* was partly taken as a synonym of *Potentilla ambigua* which belongs to the genus *Sibbaldia* L. The proper name should be *Potentilla cuneifolia* Bert. (1863), that being the next valid name (cf. Sojak, 1969). The species resembles the genus *Sibbaldia* in the trifoliate leaves and shape and texture of the leaflets (broadly obovate, tridentate and coriaceous). It is, however, readily distinguished by its numerous carpels and stamens, large suborbicular petals, very long, filiform styles and densely sericeous achenes. Chaoluan, Ikeda & Ohba (in Zhengyi & P. H. Raven, Fl. China 9: 296. 2003) have adopted *Potentilla cuneata* Wall. ex Lehm."
FON gives *Potentilla cuneifolia* Bertol., ; Misc. 24: 15, t. 2 (1863).= *Potentilla* *cuneata* <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=200011053> Wall. ex Lehm. FOC gives *Potentilla* *cuneata* Wallich ex Lehmann (syn: *Potentilla ambigua* Cambessèdes; *P. dolichopogon* H. Léveillé) As per The Plant List, *Potentilla* *cuneata* Wall. ex Lehm. is a synonym <http://www.theplantlist.org/1.1/about/#synonym> of *Sibbaldia parviflora * Willd. <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/rjp-2597> & *Potentilla* *cuneifolia* Bertol. is an unresolved <http://www.theplantlist.org/1.1/about/#unresolved> name (This name is unresolved <http://www.theplantlist.org/1.1/about/#unresolved>, but some data suggest that it is synonymous with *Sibbaldia cuneifolia *(Bertol.) Paule & Soj k <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/rjp-61653> (Unresolved)). Pl. clarify. On 24 June 2015 at 17:44, D.S Rawat <[email protected]> wrote: > *Potentilla cuneifolia* Bertol.
