Abstract

Pittosporum napaulense (DC.) Rehder & Wilson, P. karnatakense Saldanha & Ramesh and P. wightii A.K.Mukherjee are very close to each other and posing problem in identification. Similarly, P. dasycaulon Miq. And P. viridulum Nayar et al., P. podocarpum Gagnepain var.  podocarpum and var. angustatum Gowda have no difference. After a critical study of herbarium species at CAL & BSI, P. wightii and P. karnatakense are merged under P. napaulense, P. podocarpum var. angustatum under variety proper and P. viridulum under P. dasycaulon.
