May I request Dr. Archer to pl. clarify in this matter, if possible. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tapas Chakrabarty <tchak...@gmail.com> Date: 27 December 2015 at 23:20 Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:237712] TSP-DEC2015-64-237: Images of Gymnosporia montana (Celastraceae) To: tsp kumar <tspkuma...@gmail.com> Cc: efloraofindia <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com>
Thank you Kumar ji, For showing the images. As per the link provided by you, this is Gymnosporia montana (Roth ex Roemer & Schultes) Benth. Do you have access to the Flora of Karnataka Volume 2 by C. J. Saldanha (1996) wherein they have treated the species of Gymnosporia under Celastrus and there is an entry for Celastrus emarginatus. I want to know how they have treated and differentiated the species montanus and emarginatus. The confusion that has centered over the identities are certainly in need of clarification. M. A. Lawson in The Flora of British India, vol. 1, p. 621. 1875, treated both the species as distinct entities. However, in Flora of India Volume 5, published in 2000, they have treated the genus as Maytenus, they have maintained the species M. emarginata. but to my surprise there is no mention of Maytenus montana or Gymnosporia montana at all. I am requesting all to kindly enlighten me in this regard.
