Who says its scientific name is unresolved...
making new common name or local name is always confusing..
i dont go with such concept ..

none of flora work ask to make new common name.. if there are some can
be reported... because its always benefecial for the local people to
know about the plants...

There are many new common name made purposely instead of plant having
some or the other common name...

There are many examples... will not quote them... as it will hurt to
many of photographer on the site itself..

 Dear HS,

 There is an adjective spiny added to bottle brush, thus spiny bottle
 brush,
 ... certainly different from the popularly known bottle brush.
 This common name is coined by Flowers of India, otherwise this plant would
 have no name to know with.

 Most of the endemic plants of Konkan are not known by any name ... perhaps
 because the regional folks have not found (or discovered) any good use.

 For this particular plant, the botanical names themselves are unresolved
 for some reason(s).

Its just for the information of the people i quoted that the plant produces
fruit on the roots too... its nothing to do anything about the botanist
here, however any systematic botany student must know every character of the
plant..

i can definately differentiate the hanging branches and the roots of the
plants... so please accept that F. hispida produces inflorescence on the
roots too...  whoever dont know...

Dear pankaj ji...

'Ficus hispida is known to have opposite leaves USUALLY, not
COMPULSORILY ' None of flora quote this statement.. what ever i have
seen...

I also have interest in many things including Ficus... and also working in
one small forest area on it...
in many local floras i can show you its written in description and also in
keys that F. hispida (opp. leaves)


young stage mean atleast 1-2 year plant...


Now actually am confused with terminology because i thought underground
branches are also a part of roots,, infact i have seen inflorescence on the

the basionym if we see the Menispermum cordifolium Willd. is in 1805. and
Menispermum glabrum Burm.f. is in 1768.
so by following the priority rule.
Tinospora glabra is correct name..

 year of publication, and also full citation if available).

 *Ervatamia* *divaricata* var. *plena* (Roxb. ex Voigt) M.R.Almeida has been
 relegated as synonym of Tabernaemontana divaricata as per Kew Plant List. So
 best choice is just to treat it as cultivar 'Flore Pleno' only
