Hello

Prashantji may be u r right. there is possibility of shrunken inflorescence axis. But close to Orobanchaceae rather than Apocynaceae/ Asclepiadaceae.

Sir ji, pls excuse me and close this thread. I used the pic of
Cistanche tubulosa only to show that in absence of description, this
plant about 30 cm tall can be wrongly guessed as flower of Ceropegia
juncea 5 cm long. (except of course sharp eyed Prashant ji) Pictures
without any description are flowing in for ID offering food for
thought for just guesses rather than botanical ID. Regards, Shrikant

Thanks a lot for the effort Shrikant sir,
By no angle it fits into Ceropegia or family Apocynaceae.
Just for your information, I found a Ceropegia in Gori Ganga valley
during my trip with Dr. Jyotsna, and for 99% sure it was a new
species. I was stupid enough that I was carrying it in my hands and
somehow flower fell off while walking down the slopes.
Worst thing I didnt even take a pic, because I was so sure it to be new!!!

it is Cistanche tubulosa- a root parasite (i observed it growing on
lantana camara roots; Premna resinosa roots). the plant turns black on
drying as if it is burnt. it was new record to Mumbai and was reported
in 2005.

Satish ji, for the first time I got detailed information about it from Dr.Bhandari. In his book "Flora of the Indian Desert" it is mentioned as Lonki- ka- Mula (Fox's radish). It is mentioned that it is associated with Salvadora persica and Calotropis procera and very common.

In year 2000 during visit to Karjat region for medicinal plant consultancy I showed it to my client but never thought of reporting it. Also not aware whether it is reported from Chhattisgarh or not? It is used as Traditional medicine since generations. And medicinal properties depend on the type of host it prefers.
