Dear Mr. Garg,

I guess it is matching with Striga angustifolia (D. Don) C. J. Saldanha based on flower , color of flower,  stem and altitude as per eflora Nepal.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Garg,

Request for further validation whether it is S. angustifolia or S. masuria.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Garg,

Adding some pictures but not so clear.

Thank you.

If we follow the Flora of China keys, it should be Striga densiflora (which gives its distribution in China, India, Sikkim)

But it is not given in the checklist of Nepal.

[Saroj Kasaju]

Dear Mr. Garg,

I went to the spot again yesterday and shot some pictures which I believe

would support for correct ID.

Thank you.

The calyx is 15-ribbed and the lobes are as long as the tube. So, this should be Striga angustifolia.

Hi, Vijayasankar ji.

Pl. have a look at these images- these look different from the images you commented upon.

[Saroj Kasaju]

 I guess it is matching with  Striga angustifolia (D. Don) Saldanha.

Other 3 listed in Nepal does not match.

Awating final ID validation !

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Garg / Dr. Raman,

I feel it is slight difference from S. densiflora and S. angustifloia.

Different images are found for the same sp. in the web.

Could some one verify with the images of herbarium ?

Thank you.

[J.M. Garg]

You have to go through the keys in FOC and decide.
