This is the main problem with saying/guessing a name. The sender thinks of it as the id.

I had already responded to this pic, but I dont know why I dont see my comments here. I returned back to recheck but the poster is happy with the name primulina!!

Anyways, this is 100% not primulina. I have seen primulina, please look at the scale of the flower (can actually be done knowing the width of leaves. Primulina is much large flowered.

There is another species, Luisia macrotis.

It is advisable to post multiple pics from multiple angles for better ID. I cant even see the leaves.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj

Respected Sir,

Thank you so much for the effort you all always provide to resolve the identification of species. My thanks are always to all such persons who might provide some wild guess and saying, because I think he or she at least seen my post and tried his best to resolve it. In field condition, the measurement and other data are always with the collector, so we can simply resemble the guessed species with our findings. A great salute to all you working in this field.

I am uploading here some more images that are with me. The width of the leaf is 0.3-0.4 cm. Habitat is mixed-deciduous.

Thanking you,

With Regards

RAJU

Respected Sir

Looking at the length of petals I will say this is Luisia macrotis and this is known from Assam.

Primulina petal is almost same length as dorsal sepal.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj
