Pimpinella wallichiana (Miq) Gandhi (= P. monoica Dalz), fruits papillose is reported from Tidiandmul area in the Coorg flora

This id needs to be reconsidered for the following reasons:

The fruit is just too large. Pimpinella wallachiana fruits are 2-3mm.
The leaf is 3 lobed whereas in Pimpinella wallachiana it is triangular & trifoliate (lower leaves).
The images are dated August 2014 (no day is mentioned) even so P wallachiana flowers/fruits much later in November-January (at least in Maharashtra).
Am unable to give an alternate id currently.
Same images are available as Pimpinella wallichiana at FOI & Flora of Karanataka at

Appears close to images at Heracleum rigens Wall. ex DC. 

Advised both FOI and Flora of Karanataka for correction as images appear close to images at Heracleum rigens Wall. ex DC..
