Please check we coin a name in Malayalam as ഇരുണ്ട ഭൂയിചക്രം irunda bhooyichakram, meaning dark ground-wheel.

Basing this name on Marathi coined name – जांभळे भुईचक्र jambhale bhuichakra, meaning violet ground-wheel

Yes, both Malayalam and English spelling of the name ഇരുണ്ട ഭൂയിചക്രം irunda bhooyichakram (dark ground-wheel) are correct.

Kannada names and English transliteration are O.K.

Could this be Iphigenia species ? Pictures taken at Kasara, Maharashtra in July 2016
Thanks, … Very good images.
You may check with species at Iphigenia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)

It should be Iphigenea indica as per comparative images at ‎Iphigenia
Pl. check as the filaments should be hairy.
