The closest match is Canscora diffusa, but flower colour is different

 Canscora diffusa came into my mind too but I rejected due

to the flower colour

Some close ups of the flowers

[Madhuri Pejaver]

is it that sepals are four and petals three. Any significance? Madhuri --- On Fri, 23/9/11, Balkar Arya <balka...@gmail.com> wrote:

I think this plant should be Kohautia coccinea

Yes Sir Agree, The doubt Created by Shrikant Ji was right. He on the spot had said that this may have 4 petals instead of three. But fourth one is so nicely missing, one cant say that there should be four.

Thanks a lot for the id
Thanks for the ..................ID of The Tour!!!!!!!!!

Balkar ji

I think later on we found one with four. Do you have those photographs. Not one of crucifer Erysimum.

Thanks for Showing Sir

Hi,

Sorry for delayed posting. I am also attaching my pics of Kohautia-coccinea from near the exit point of Tiger falls, Balkarji might remember he went away due to dehydration.
