Why not Barleria prattensis?

Confusing . Images of B. prattensis in FoI looks more close.

Thank you.

Thanks Saroj Ji.

Since I had not seen Barleria prattensis before, it did not come to my mind.

Now, even I feel it is closer to Barleria prattensis as suggested by Radha Ji.

Paradesi Ji, there were no seeds as yet.

Radha Ji, you have expertise in the flora in Maharashtra, please give your final opinion.

Regards,

Aarti

Well, Barleria prattensis is common in this part of Maharashtra.  I haven't seen B. montana but that doesn't mean it is not present. 

Aarti ji, if you can wait for the seeds it would be great.

Radha Ji,

Thanks a lot. 

Borgad Conservation Reserve is a restricted area, which comes under the Air Force.

Special permission was taken by the Nature Conservation Society of Nasik to see the flowering of Karvi after 8 years.

The Field Officer Pooja tells me it is Forest Barleria, Endemic to Western Ghats. It is also the host plant for Pansy Species of Butterflies.

I have seen Barleria montana only in Mahabaleshwar before.

The above was growing in a number of places.

Regards,

Aarti

Radha Ji, 

Nature Conservation Society's Field Officer Pooja has confirmed this to be Barleria prattensis.

Thanks, Aarti!

Radha Ji,

Thanks for pointing out the error, else I would have not realised my mistake.

It's always a pleasure to learn from you.

Regards,

Aarti
