Hello Dinesh,

this is interesting.

What are the characters visible in your photos which can identify it as the new species?

thanks

Radha

Hello Radha,

Perhaps the locality, habitat, habit and form of the herb could have helped in suggesting the ID.

Arun Prasanth Ravichandran who suggested the ID, is one of the authors (other being Milind M. Sardesai ji) of this newly described species.

Regards.

Dinesh

If so, than it will be in line with long list of species posted much earlier, before their actual publication.
