Plant from Virat nagar Forest Jaipur

For ID(ID-DKB172)

Photo Taken on-26.8.2009

Looks like “Polygala sp”, could be polygala erioptera.

is it from Polygalaceae

Ya it is Polygala erioptera–Polygalaceae

‘Polygala erioptera’ is called ‘Gulpankhi’ ‘गुलपंखी’ in Marathi.

but anthers colour not same?

BSI Flora states that flowers are yellow in P.erioptera.
Can it be Polygala irregularis then? As the flowers are Pink/purple. The leaves also has been stated to be linear oblong in P. irregularis

Another plant from Polygalaceae photographed at Kas platue Satara on 6 Sept.2009

I liked this very different flower you had posted.
Incidently I got the opportunity to click it on my Kaas visit on 20th Sep09. I have posted it in a separate mail.
It certainly is Polygala persicariifolia as … has identified it.

To me appears close to images at Polygala erioptera DC.

Herb from Western Rajasthan for id: 2 high res. images.
This plant has remained unidentified for years. It was growing in sandy desert scrub in September 2013. It looks like a Fabaceae and I am unable to be sure of the genus.

Hoping you can help.

Polygala abyssinica R.Br. ex Fresen. ??

Many thanks, … for a wonderful suggestion. It seems like the inflorescence is not terminal here, but not sure if that is ok. Do you have a good description of the plant?

Please try Polygala erioptera DC. !

This looks like the best match.

Thank you very much, … This was a mystery for all this time.

Yes, appears close to images at
