Also see descriptions and details at https://bsi.gov.in/uploads/documents/Public_Information/publication/books/Flora%20of%20India%20latest/FLORA%20OF%20INDIA%20VOL.5.pdf https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/FloraPeninsular/herbsheet.php?id=4827&cat=7 https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/FloraPeninsular/herbsheet.php?id=4822&cat=7 Sometimes conflicting descriptions and details. So best to go by distribution. In Maharashtra, only *Reissantia indica* (Willdenow) N. Hallé is reported as per above links. So take it as *Reissantia indica* (Willdenow) N. Hallé.
