Hello

the link given by Yazdy ji is definitely of Cyanotis cristata only but some people unknowingly put the different name this might be reason to get confuse. C. cristata produces axillary as well as terminal Inflorescence. Sometimes peduncle is very short so any one can easily confused while many times flowers raised on long peduncles ( 0.7- 8.5 cm ) and foliaceous bract. Above image is example of short peduncle. Number of flower are are also varied you may get 1 to 10 flowered cincinni (one sided cyme) within the species. So above image is with one flower.

 

Link given by Singh ji is might be something different than Cyanotis cristata  because the shape of bracteoles is not falcate or not lanceolate is somewhat orbicular, and bracts and bracteole are ciliate but puburlous also. So this may be different frm D. Don's Cyanotis cristata.

Thank you
