On the morphology and taxonomy of two multipurpose congeneric taxa-calotropis gigantea and c. Procera (apocynaceae)

Two multipurpose congeneric taxa Calotropis gigantea and C. procera have been described in detail from morpho-taxonomic view point along with seedling morphology. The reported taxa can be distinguished by comparing corolla, corona, pollinial sac and fruit shape. At seedling stage they can be differentiated and identified on the basis of colour, collet, and shape of the first and second leaf blades.
