Yes Raman ji Very good photographs I find another big confusion created by The PLant List (I find it more often now as I compare more and more names).
GRIN considers Hibiscus tiliaceus as accepted name (updated on 14 May 2012), and related plant H. tiliaceus subsp. hastatus as Hibiscus hastatus The Plant List recognises Hibiscus tiliaceus L. as accepted name but considers H. hastatus L.f. as synonym of *Talipariti* *tiliaceum* (L.) Fryxell<http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2515911> With such glaring mistakes, I wonder if they have any specialists on their panel. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
