Hi,  Agree with Dr.Pardeshi. It looks like Dicliptera zeylanica [D.foetida] to me.                         With regards,                           Neil Soares. --- On Wed, 3/10/10, tanay bose <tanay...@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Tanay 

If you want to see an authentic specimen of Peristrophe paniculata, please to to this link of Dinesh Valke:

http://images.google.co.in/imgres?imgurl=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2197/1964869546_a2b082110a.jpg&imgrefurl=http://flickr.com/photos/91314344@N00/1964869546&usg=__cnxiudH8DqTCgrb5wyUj8GElm5M=&h=375&w=500&sz=127&hl=en&start=7&sig2=a4jA2UB24iZr6XLxCe_Y4A&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=bt5XFaOFGBWDSM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPeristrophe%2Bpaniculata%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbs%3Disch:1&ei=55mXS6yMLYutrAfXqam3Cg

This plant was earlier also confused with Peristrophe, untill Nayan ji pointed out to be Dicliptera, and I found Dicliptera bupleuroides in Manali. Plants of Dicliptera tend to be more robust with flowers more or less clustered, whereas in Perstrophe paniculata they form spreading panicle and are on long slender stalks.

Neil ji ... on going through the internet and Shrikant ji's FOS, the description says the plant D. zeylanica (D.foetida) is a prostrate plant.
The plant posted by me does not look prostrate ... or is such diffuse form accepted as a variation for D. zeylanica ?

Other aspects of the plant n the photographs tend to agree otherwise with the description.

Your thoughts.

[Neil Soares]

Hi Dinesh,    Its been a long time. Could you re-send photographs of the plant please.                     Regards,                       Neil.   --- On Thu, 9/23/10, Dinesh Valke <dinesh...@gmail.com> wrote:

Another option is D nasikensis but leaf morphology no match much as
nasikensis have elliptic-ovate leaves. D foetida may be a good choice

Many thanks Balkar ji for the validation ... me too hoping it to be Dicliptera foetida (D. zeylanica) ... unfortunately, there is not much discussed about this species on the internet.
Waiting for Neil ji / Shrikant ji / others to concur on this ID.

Regards.

[Balkar Arya]

Your Most Welcome Dinesh Ji

[Neil Soares]

Hi Dinesh,  Thanks for re-sending the photographs. I concur. This is Dicliptera foetida [D.zeylanica]. Have seen this plant twice with Dr.Almeida - at Malshej and Mahabaleshwar.
