Some earlier relevant feedback:
This looks like something close to I. drepanophora or I. longipes (see upcurved spur), but this group of species is particularly difficult and little known. Are flowers pure yellow? How high was plants? Is this annual or perennial? One of dividing features between I. drepanophora and I. longipes are glandular tips of beak in mouth of lower sepal and lateral sepals. I don't see this detail good enough on your pictures, however... Whole flower looks like 2-2,5 cm long - is my estimation correct? Best regards Wojciech |
| I am sorry for not being able to give full information, the flower was completely yellow (however, some specimens from a different location show purple streaks on the upcurved spur), plant was about 1-1.2 ft. high, most probably annual..your estimation about flowers size is also right.. Some high resolution cropped pics are attached, if they are of any help.. |

Garg Ji, Here is the reply from Dr. Gogoi : Copy-paste
I have doubt about its identity as I. drapanophora or I. longipesIn I. drapanophora the lateral sepals will have a peculear awn in its apex, in your plant that is absent.In I. longipes the inflorescence will be dropping, that also absent in your plant.rather it is more close to I. stenantha
In my last identification about I. puberula needs further study as your plants have some variation.
