Gentianaceae? Acantaceae?

[griphuz]

Dear all,

Thank you for accepting membership!

I observed a plant possibly in the Gentianaceae or Acantaceae family I would like to identify;

Location; Arunachal Pradesh, Upper siang District

Altitude: 2300 m a.s.l.

Growing in shades forest floor.

Does anyone recognise this? Genus only, or even confirmed familiy only is also much appreciated! Thank you!

Kind regards,

     Remko Beuving.

These pictures were taken last oktober, like 22-10-2022.

(Melastomaceae) Sarcopyramis sp indeed looks like it! the shape of the fruit is almost identical! Thank you very much! 

Kind regards,

After some quick searching, a source ( Check List 17 (1): 233–237, https://pubag.nal.usda.gov/catalog/7282727) tells me there are only two species in India represented for this Genus; 

S. subramanii and the allied S. nepalensis. 

Judging from pictures I find in scientific articles so far I must say my species is neither one of these...

Posibly a new record for India, or possibly even a new species??
Sarcopyramis bodinieri from neighbouring Yunnan & Tibet does not fit the discription either...

Probably much to early to conclude such a thing, but daunting!

Kind regards,

     Remko.

Why not S. nepalensis ?

Sarcopyramis napalensis Wall. seems to be the correct ID !

Thank you.

Well it might be a variety of that species possibly, but none of the pictures I can find on the Internet (many of them are from genuine botanical trustworthy websites) show this marbeled pattern and colouration on the leaf surface

Kind regards,

     Remko.
