Dear Saroj ji,
It is very close to Neanotis decipiens, thank you very much for ID my plant.

However, some of my observations are my plant is hairy, flowers not densely clustered, difference in panicle inflorescence, ie. not visible much flower stalks.

With kind regards, Sam.

There seems to be some confusion in the following two species:

Neanotis indica as per GBIF specimen.

Neanotis decipiens as per GBIF specimens (one, two, three).

Will keep it as Neanotis decipiens for the time being.

Although there some mixing up, leaves of N. indica are obtuse to acute with mostly shorter petioles, N. decipiens with acuminate leaves with longer petioles. In that sense

N. decipiens appears fitting better.
