Dear all:
the flower color and shape is so lovely and delicate respectively, the foliage color is pleasant too... 

I was wondering if we have horticulture experts or practicing horticulturists among us... my question to them is: can this plant be adopted /selectively bred for home gardening?

thanks

Dear Ushadi ji,

It is collected from some undisturbed forest slopes. The hillock is protected from grazing which is comes under piligrim area.  It is not at all home gardening plant. It is not matches with the characters of other Peristrophe species which were reported from India (FBI, Gamble, State Floras of AP, MH, MP, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, Rajastahn,etc,  EFC & EFP. It may be a new species or new variety?. Due to lack of proper literature we were not able to fix the identity confirmation. Thanks to Mr. Garg ji, Dr. Singh ji, Dr. Ushadi ji for resurfacing this taxon and also valuable comments.

Regards

Dr. K.N. Reddy
Research Scientist

[Ushadi Micromini]

Thank you Dr Reddy for more information...

BUT MY query to horticulturists still remains open...
feel free to free associate here if you are one...

love to hear horticulture experts views ...

I think it is Peristrophe paniculata only.

But you can explore further the minute differences found by you.

Dr Satish Phadke

[Mahadeswara]

My simple answer is 'yes'.

[Satish Phadke]

Even Tapas Chakrabarty and Mahadeswara ji think this as Peristrophe paniculata only.

Dr Satish Phadke

[J.M. Garg]

I think it should be Dicliptera cuneata as per images and details herein.
