Thanks Dear HS Ji for sharing yr views. What i understand is that there are two things, one is the plant list and second one is the regional flora.
I would like to share one of my observation w.r.t. Ehretia sp.. While we were discussing Ehretia sp. posted by Balkar ji, Gurcharan Singh ji has mentioned that "Kew Plant List treats E. aspera as synonym of E. laevis". Where as "Flora of Bombay-- T.Cooke” treats these 2 differently, Ehretia laevis as E.laevis,Roxb. and Ehretia aspera as E.aspera,Roxb. Flora has also provided the keys for both. So my understanding is, along with plant list, regional floras should also be reffered and it becomes all the more necessay when we are reffereing to some endemic sp.
