Dear friends,

Not sure of this plant's distribution status in our country - perhaps southern peninsula.
Please help with any name(s) in southern states of India.

A reply:

"Yes, it is Staurogyne zeylanica

Santhosh"

[Dinesh Valke]

Thank you very much Santhosh ji for validating the ID.

My query remains:

[J.M. Garg]

On detailed checking, I will go for Staurogyne spathulata (BI.) Koord. (syn. Staurogyne glauca), as per Keys in Flora of Karnataka due to viscous-pubescent nature of the stem and non- trailing nature.
