Thank you very much Dinesh Ji for taking care of the issue. But one thing bothers me, i do not know anything about *Hiptage benghalensis *, if it is available here or how common it is. I tried to find some info on this plant, with all its synonyms, in the book i use but didn't find any. However, if i receive any info about this particular species i will inform you and the group.
