Many thanks Saroj ji.

I strongly think my suggestion is a better candidate. It has lax inflorescence.

Bupleurum wightii Koso-Pol. syn. of Bupleurum ramosissimum Wight & Arn.
https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:839355-1/images

has denser inflorescence.

Regards.

To me appears close to specimen of Bupleurum mucronatum at

Many thanks Garg ji.

In the posted plant, I can see that the leaves are clearly seen in two rows (distichous), which is the distinguishing feature of B. distichophyllum.

We will require ID to be validated.

It matches well with specimens of Bupleurum mucronatum at GBIF:

Lower leaves are long but not as broad as in the posted plant.

[Dinesh Valke]

OK, Garg ji, many thanks.

Garg ji, I have seen, but not all of them, for want of time. I am not yet agreeing :) 

We will wait for some time until I finish uploading my observations of the Nilgiri region.

Regards.

Dinesh

[J.M. Garg]

Ok, Dinesh ji

[J.M. Garg]

OK.
