[Sushmita Jha]

Hello all,

here is a set of photos of another wildflower - this one is very tiny - for which I would appreciate ID help.

Thank you.

Sushmita ji,
these flowers are of Cyanotis family. Someone from that part of
country, can throw more light on the species.

Thanks a lot, Rajesh. I searched the net and indeed one of the two
varieties found matches my flower - Cyanotis somaliensis.

Link for Cyanotis somaliensis: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Pussy%20Ears.html ( I feel desc. doesn't matches with the posted pix).

Concise Flowers of Himalayas by Polunin & Stainton, only mentions one species i.e. Cyanotis vaga. Links for it: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200027378 (desc. from FOC with syn. Tradescantia vaga, Cyanotis barbata, C. bulbosa, C. nobilis ) whose desc. seems to match.

This is a species of Cyanotis (Commelinaceae)

Need some pictures, showing the habit, to confirm the identity.

Thank you very much Madhavan ji.

O, it was four years ago, I have to find that folder to look through and find any habitat pictures I may have taken.

This could be Cyantois vaga. 

Cyanotis fasciculata has more succulent, cobwebby leaves, and bi-colored monliform filament hairs. 

Thanks,
