Rubiaceae week: Argostemma courtallense_ Neryamangalam Kerala:
Pictures of Argostemma courtallense a small ground dwelling Rubiaceae herb. Available only during monsoon in the floor of evergreen forests.
Picture taken during July 2011 from Neryamangalam reserve forests in Kerala

This is really very interesting and new one for me… thanks a lot for sharing.
The pics are marvelous, the flowers on a first look give the illusion of any Solanum sp.

Thank you very much … for the appreciating words. Further, thanks to … for reminding me about the genus.

… was correct in his observation that this plant, at first sight, would looks like a solanaceae member, especially the anthers.
But a close look on the floral characters will give you hints of Rubiaceae.
A very tricky tiny beauty.

Thanks … for posting a rare plant. One has to bear with many leeches to see this plant. I would be priviledged to receive image GIB 6973 in original resolution. How about Benkara and Discospermum?
