Herb For id from Dehradun-Mussoorie Road

[Nidhan Singh]

Dear All,

This herb was shot from Dehradun-Mussoorie road in September 2010 and for me this can be any Commelinaceae member. I know and regret for bad quality pics, but still hope to find id as the flower colour looks quite unusual to me.
It was raining badly that day, I could not get any better pics of this. I hope I can get clue up to Genus level, if not species.

Nidhan ji thank you for sharing such a beautiful Tricarpelema J. K. Morton and your guess is right, this is Commelinaceae member. 

Exactly could not say the species, because this genus having great diversity in NE India,.

Total 8 species, only 1 species was found in Africa while remaining 8 are distributed through NE India to the Philippines and Borneo.

Thank you once again for adding one more genus in eflora database, especially from Commelinaceae
