Is it Achranthes coynei: Photographed on Friday 3rd Feb., 12, at Matheran. Would be interesting to know its identity We also found similar plant in Chakrata it seemed to be simply pink flowered A. bidentata A. coynei should be like a larger form of A. aspera, reaching 3-3.5 m in height, flowers pink, larger (2 cm across when fully open), and very long inflorescence (35-60 cm long) and fimbriate staminodes. Sir, this was not that much tall. Probably around one and half feet. This plant was observed between the shade of two large boulders (rocks).
Is it Achyranthes coynei: Photographed on Friday 3rd Feb., 12, at Matheran. The infl is too short for A. coynei. We found plants of A. bidentata with similar short inflorescence and pink flowers in Chakrata trip. A. coynei is rather gigantic form of A. aspera.
