Tabish ji It is good to follow The Plant List but not where we know it makes blunders. I have sent more than 2000 corrections to them, but perhaps even their second version is full of errors. eFlora of China, Flora of India (BSI), have clarified that Ranunculus polypetala Royle ex D Don (1834), the Indian plant is different from Raf. (1817). Strangely The Plant List considers Oxytrophis polypetala (Raf.) Hook.f. & T as accepted name but does not mention binomial by Raf. in the synonyms.
