Hello friends

Saw this plant the Sadawaghapur plateau near Satara. MH in October 2019.

Suggestions on FB indicated Sopubia delphinifolia and Micrargeria wightii.

Requested to please provide ID.

Thanks and regards

Calyx is the key ... reflexed long pointed lobes ... Parasopubia delphinifolia . 
This late in season , corolla becomes smaller , maroon patch in throat is small or absent . In Surat , it has become scarce to locate now , (in December, )also plants are smaller , less vigorous .

The description in Micrargeria wightii states

"calyx tube 1.5 cm, campanulate, lobes spreading above"

The description in Sopubia delphinifolia states

"calyx 9 mm long, tube ribbed, lobes acuminate, scabrid"

I am a bit confused between Micrargia wightii and Sopubia delphinifolia.
