Dear Mr. Garg,
Enclosing some pictures for identification.
Location : Kalingpong

Pictures were shot by a friend and sent for ID ! After extensive search I think it should be Didymocarpus peducellata.
Thank you.

| Thanks, Saroj ji. But it does not match with images at Didymocarpus pedicellatus |

Dear Mr. Garg ,
Do we need further verification from Mr. Weber?
Thank you.

Thank you !
I don’t think it is D. pedicellatus, more closer to Didymocarpus andersonii C. B. Clarke

Dear Garg ji
It’s easy to differentiate D. pedicellatus and D. andersonii: if you look at the corolla shape, its funnel-form (gradually wider opening) in D.pedicellatus but salver-form (slender tube, narrow opening, with abruptly widening lobes) in D. andersonii. In D. pedicellatus petioles are nearly glabrous while in D. andersonii its densely pubescent.
