Hello Everyone,

I am tending to agree that the plant in question is not in
Convolvulaceae as the leaves appear to be in opposite arrangement and
all plants in Convolvulaceae have alternate arrangement.

regards,

Ron

Dear Ninad,

Thanks for forwarding me this useful literature.

Yes! I am also not convinced with S. penstemonoides

Even there is a little ambiguity in the name. (Ref: Fl. China).

Strobilanthes penstemonoides (Nees) T. Anderson, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 9: 477. 1867.
Goldfussia penstemonoides Nees in Wallich, Pl. Asiat. Rar. 3: 88. 1832 ["pentastemonoides"]; G. flexuosa Nees; Ruellia capitata Buchanan-Hamilton ex D. Don.

Hope we'll get the correct identity soon.

Regards,
Ritesh.

The specific epithet 'penstemonoides ' should be valid because it is
based on Ruellia penstemonoides from Wallich Catalog.. But not sure of
the id yet.

"I checked the link provided by you and later on searched a lot, but could not reached to conclusion.
Well, I had seen this plant few times in field and identified, then, on the basis of information available on Flowers of India [http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Himalayan%20Goldfussia.html ] and this was Goldfussia for me till I saw link sent by you. However, after a day search I felt, I was wrong, and yet writing email without reaching to any conclusion level. Apologies for that. 
mean while I came across one document [which may be of use, if not now, then in future] and attached with the email.

Please check a previous thread on Spermadictyon suaveolens
@
https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/dc79b1137b313110?hl=en

I think this is indeed a Rubiaceae species, though I am not sure about
the species.

My thoughts are based on opposite leaves, interpetiolar stipules and
inferior ovary with persistent calyx.


Regards,
Giby
