Hello friends

This was clicked in a field near the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), Chandrapur in February 2025.

Guessing this to Centaurium pulchellum. Kindly validate.

Thanks and regards

Looks like Centaurium roxburghii (D.Don) Druce but check Centaurium pulchellum (Sw.) Hayek ex Hand.-Mazz., Stadlm., Janch. & Faltis also.

Thank you.

Thank you Saroj ji.

I cannot find Centaurium roxburghii in eFI database.

To me it looks C. pulchellum.

Lots of confusion regarding its taxonomy with no clear cut keys to differentiate the photographs.

I am following as per 
1. Centaurium meyeri (Bunge) Druce, Rep. Bot. Soc. Exch. Club Brit. Isles 1916: 613 1917. (Syn: Centaurium centaurioides (Roxb.) Babu; Centaurium centaurioides (Roxb.) S.R.Rao & Hemadri; Centaurium roxburghii (D.Don) Druce; Erythraea meyeri Bunge; Erythraea roxburghii G.Don) as per Indian Gentianaceae: A Check-list By Sunita Garg
