Herb for ID-1 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4). Please help me to identify this small herb seen as epiphyte on a tree fern.
The plant was about 15-16 cm in height growing in the moss laden habitat in semi evergreen forest areas.
Flowers was about 0.8-1cm
across. Leaves hairy. Interesting plant. Looks like a member of Sonerila (?) group of Melastomaceae. Eager to know the id.
This is Sarcopyramis nepalensis Wall.
You rightly guessed the family i.e. Melastomataceae. Thanks a lot …, for the id. Never seen this plant (in Northeast) nor heard the name.
Thanks … for posting the pictures here. Could you pl tell us from where did you collect this?

–Collected ca. 1900 m asl. – Hairy herb to 15 cm, unbranched. Sarcopyramis sp (Melastomaceae). Species need to be checked. See link in efloraofindia
It seems it is not known in West Himalaya.
Check carefully for species.
You are exploring your area very thoroughly. Good work.
S. napalensis (leaves 5-10 cm long) is reported from Nepal, adjacent to Uttarakhand.
Sir, I Thanks both of you. I w’ll check it critically at my level, i was also observing it under Melastomaceae but fruit characters diverted me.
Pl. also check Sarcopyramis bodinieri H. Léveillé & Vaniot as per FOC Illustration although no distribution in India I think that is Sarcopyramis napalensis Wall., Tent. Fl. Napal. 1: 32. t. 23. 1824 I am not sure if Sarcopyramis humilis M. P. Nayar, J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 71(1): 170. 1974 I thank all the experts for their attention and assistant in identification of this plant.
Finally, i am taking it as Sarcopyramis napalensis Wall. (Melastomataceae).
Sarcopyramis nepalensis (Melastomataceae) from Sikkim : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1)
Common in grassy slopes, forest floors, undergrowths, meadows and streamsides at 1600– 2300 m altitudes.
Herbs up to 30 cm high
Fambonglho Wildlife Sanctuary, East Sikkim
Flowering and fruiting: June – November
This species was earlier known in Eastern Himalaya and Nepal Himalaya. Recently it was recorded as new generic record from Western Himalaya (Kumaon Uttarakhand) by Dr Pusalkar (BSI). More recently a research student from Garhwal University found it further westward in Garhwal region of Uttarakhand and I identified the species through his pics. Thank you Sir for the information about the extended distribution of the species.
I find that ‘napalensis’ is the original spelling of the specific epithet used by Wallich and therefore I think that this spelling gets protection from the Code.

Habit : Wild the four mer flower with its unique petal shape looks like what was described in this paper but i cant discern any hair on the leaves, besides may be rain caused flower center in pic 2 to look like mush, and all those bright reflections on leaves reflecting your flash is precluding viewer from discerning any hairs Yes rain is the culprit.
