Hi kaka,

 

I had posted the following plant on eflora and the view seems to be Lepidagathis cuspidada.

I have a strong doubt about the suggested id. Since several features are not matching.

Could you please endorse if it is otherwise.

[Adittya Dharap]

Please neglect the following email that was posted inadvertently and not intended for eflora.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

best regards

 

Adittya

Yes, id is correct as Lepidagathis cuspidata Nees
Only the inflorescence is a bit elongated with a lot of gaps in between as in GBIF- specimen.
