Not sure if I have posted it earlier. I could not find in the listing. I doubt if it is found in Nepal as per Catalogue of Life and POWO This species is E. punctatum. Nepal is type locality. A very rare species. Catalogue of Life treats Elatostema punctatum Wedd. as a synonym of Elatostema grande (Wedd.) P.S.Green. Is it OK?

P.S.Green ? Syn : Elatostema punctatum Wedd. Yes, appears close to images at Elatostema grande I didn’t pay more attention to this before since in Wang’s book (Wang, 2014), it is named as E. punctatum. I need also check the original description and type of E. grande then I can confirm whether they are same References:
