Here are mine pics from same place
A strange looking flower… Kalatope id Al041412: A strange looking flower from the Chamera Dam side… This one is for sure Roylea cineraria….Lamiaceae, a plant much disccused earlier. Here are the links to older threads
These are fruits with persisting calyx.
Persisting calyx either provide protection to the fruit at the young stage or if it still persist while dispersal it facilitates wind dispersal.
Here I think it is a wind dispersed fruit.

A cultivated, potted plant, could be a medicinal plant, at the Maharashtra Nature Park. It might be Orthosiphon stamineus, (Cat’s whiskers) Lamiaceae Can it be Roylea elegans, a medicinal plant I had seen at the Flower Show in Jijamata Udyan?
The leaves look similar. Yes it looks Roylea cinerea (Lamiaceae). Thanks a lot for confirming the id.

Superb upload ! Nevertheless, the image at FoI / NET differs. That photograph on FOI is also mine from Morni hills, only difference being that it is a complete flower with corolla also. Above pictures have only persistent calyx, corolla having fallen off. . References:
