Muthu-ji, Garg-ji

Thanks for posting/ re-surfacing  another interesting plant.

The large sepal-like with veins seems to point to Polygala, although with the very small flowers fringed keel cannot be seen.

Muthu-ji , could you give an idea of the sizes ?  Form the images I am guessing

Leaves about 4x3 mm and raceme <  1 cm ?

regards

ASinha

This can be any of the several Polygala species, i.e P. telephioides Willd. P. folifolia Presl. or P. chinensis L. It can be confirmed only by studying the characters and comparing with descriptions in floras or specimens in herbaria.
