Reply from another thread by Lalithamba ji: correction of Dicliptera cuneata posted by me :
Dicliptera posted by me is not D.cuneata, wrongly identified

it is Dicliptera beddomei- reasons branches slender, striate, flowers in trichotomous cymes on lax paniclesbranches hairy, bracts narrow and linear flowering bracts linear

the correction may be carried -you please observe there is 3 branches from each axil and see the difference with present specimen again sending the images.
