Some earlier relevant feedback:
“I doubt if this plant is A. indica though it is Aeginetia no doubt.
Differences are peduncles hairy (glabrous), calyx lobed (spatheceus),
corolla white and yellow (purple) smaller and distinctly lobed. Please
reconfirm. Rgds, Shrikant”
“Another possibility is Aeginetia pedunculata!” from Vijayasankar ji.
