Dear Dinesh Sir, I again have one VERY SIMPLE question as usual:
Which alba are you talking of: Bauhinia alba Hort. (this is a cultivar not a species) OR Bauhinia alba Buch.-Ham. ex Wall. For your information, there is a species called Bauhinia alba and then there is a cultivated variety called Bauhinia variegata 'Alba'. When following any plant name from GRIN full name is to be checked. As far as I can make out GRIN is talking about the cultivated variety so please do not misinterpret the informations. I assume more than 80% of people here are not taxonomists so its not a big deal as they tend to miss the technical details of it. Though I may be wrong!!
