Flora of Haryana: Barleria cuspidata from Near Munak Karnal

[Balkar Singh]

Dear All

Sharing pics of  Barleria cuspidata from Near Munak Karnal

I identified this as Barleria cuspidata instead of B prionitis due to presence of two stamens

Pls validate

Thanks

This should not be Barleria cuspidata. Barleria cuspidata has thorns almost an inch long, which are about the size of the flower-tube. Barleria prionitis, on the other hand, has thorns about 1 cm long, about half the size of the flower-tube. Also leaves of Barleria cuspidata are narrower, oblong-lanceshaped.
Moreover, Barleria cuspidata is endemic to Peninsular India, so not expected to be seen in Haryana. This looks like Barleria prionitis only.
