I recorded this dense rosette of spine tipped plant in Goa University campus, Goa.
Spines were sharp and I was not able to see internal details of flowers to decide whether it is Scrophulariaceae or Acanthaceae. Moreover I am completely ignorant of flora of this area. Is it Lepidagathis mitis (Acanthaceae)? L.lutea Thank you … I am taking it as Lepidagathis lutea Dalzell (Acanthaceae).
