Swertia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) It looks me Swertia tetragona
This is another beautiful Swertia which looks plain white from a distance but faint lines on petals along with hairy pale marks (two stretched ovals at the base of each petal) are visible on a closer look. A quick look on FOI suggests S. tetragona. Please advise.
Swertia tetragona?
