Sorry for coming in late. I can see calyx not winged, flowers
pedicellate and pedicels not winged (to rule out C. decussata). Can't
go with the colour either. Can you indicate the size of the corolla?
If the calyx is keeled it could be C. khandalensis. If the pedicels
are winged, it could be C. pauciflora. Need more info to be sure.
Regards, Shrikant
