As usual your postings are as glorious as Gloriousa superba ! This is the state flower of Tamil Nadu. Occur naturally on the East Coast road (Chennai to Mahabalipuram Road) and also grown on commercial scale in some parts of T N for medicinal uses.

Sir,

Thank you very much for the compliments and added info. I also found this plant growing in the wild, inside a village thicket.

Thilakan Sir,

The orange coloured globular flesh might be of aril around the seed inside - http://books.google.co.in/books?id=FyPVYzL76sMC&pg=PA179&lpg=PA179&dq=testa+of+gloriosa&source=bl&ots=0kQTcLCR62&sig=qKK0hNXnVp8j7inVzafvtDqGiIE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=mEQ3UpDnLsfarAfOzYCwBA&ved=0CIEBEOgBMAk#v=onepage&q=testa%20of%20gloriosa&f=false.

Just for precaution, this plant is supposed to be highly poisonous, especially seeds and tubers, so be safe....
