Dear Kiratsinh ji,

Please let me know whether the name nil jakara નીલ જકારા is good also for Haplanthodes neilgherryensis (Wight) R.B.Majumdar
This species too is distributed in Gujarat, Daman and Diu.

Regards.
Dinesh

Many thanks Garg ji for following up with this query.
I have used the name nil jakara નીલ જકારા for Haplanthodes neilgherryensis (Wight) R.B.Majumdar
Please consider this query as resolved.

In earlier times, Haplanthodes neilgherryensis (Wight) R.B.Majumdar was considered as synonym / variety of Haplanthodes tentaculata (L.) R.B.Majumdar, and the name nil jakara નીલ જકારા was given to the plant during those times. Now H. neilgherryensis is considered as a separate species. Actually nil jakara નીલ જકારા is more apt for H. neilgherryensis because it bears blue-coloured flowers, while  H. tentaculata is off-white, brownish in the throat.

Regards.
Dinesh
