These lovely tiny ground flowers of Neanotis montholoni can be seen in the open area at the base of Kanheri Caves in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai.
We did not see these gregarious herbs last year so their seeds must have been dormant until now! Just one of the smaller enigmas of our forests, I suppose!

Lovely pictures, … Here is a link for details of Tanoti, Neanotis montholonii:

I have also observed these in large numbers on Vetal Tekdi,Pune for last few days.

It is interesting to observe the changing face of flora in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai. Last month a small open area below Kanheri Caves was covered by lovely blue flowers of Neanotis montholoni amidst growing spikes of Silver Spiked Cockscomb and the much smaller Common Small Justicia flowers. Yesterday almost the entire area has erupted with the taller plants of the gregarious Common Balsam, Impatiens balsamina. I did not see any N.montholoni flowers.
Isaac Kehimkar calls it succession of flowers. If conditions for one species is ideal then that species takes over and rapidly spreads itself smothering other species.

Your observation at SGNP may be termed as ‘succession‘.
However, the description that you have given for meaning of ‘succession’ is not correct.  When different seasonal plant species emerge, flower, fruit & die in a short span, and allow some other plant species to emerge and grow, one after the other that is called ‘succession’.  You can see this at Valley of Flowers where the summer season is very short and gives very liittle time for all seasonal plants to complete their life cycle.  Here various plants have evolved to grow in succession in the same region. Their span of life cycle also becomes short.  In a way they create their own seasonal niches and keep evolving. You should observe the VOF for a longer duration and you will be able to see amazing dynamic succession of plants.
There is change in flowering pattern, almost every fortnight.
However, when plants take over the region and do not allow the original vegetation to grow, it is called ‘invasion’.  That is how weeds take over even forest patches.

Satara, Oct 2014 :: Requesting ID validation :: ARKNOV-07 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (8). 
Requesting to please validate ID of these delicate flowers captured near Satara, Maharashtra in October 2014.
They were captured at 2 different locations – named Set 1 and Set 2
Are they both Neanotis lancifolia?


efi page on Neanotis lancifolia


As far as I believe N.lancifolia is a taller plant 0.5 to 1 m tall. whereas N.montholini is a smaller plant 10 -20 cm high. Another small herb N.latifolia is also 15-30cm high. with purplish to reddish stem.
For deeper study the characters of capsule dehiscing whether loculicidally or septicidally and other details is necessary.

Thanks … for the feedback..
This plant was not very tall, may be 10-20 cm high, but unfortunately, I do not have the pics of the capsules.


These flowers are similar to the ones identified as Neanotis lancifolia in my recent post.
They look similar and have been captured in the same area, requested to please validate.

Yes. Neanotis lancifolia (Hook.f.) W.H.Lewis as per comparative images at Neanotis

Are these Neanotis lancifolia, although a little deformed?

the leaves does not look like lance shaped. i checked in Flowersofindia. looks like some other species

Thank you … for the feedback… Do you think, this could be something else?
