Phyllanthus sp.

 An endemic or indigenous subshrub occurs above 900 m elevations in the Knuckles range. Rather similar to the Phyllanthus baillonianus but with cream-white flowers. Probably an addition to the flora of Sri Lanka, first recorded in Vlas de J., 2019 with only male flowers (Female flowers are also shown here).
