I need id assistance for following species collected from Darjeeling Argostemma sarmentosum Wall. (Rubiaceae) to me. Often along streams on moss covered shady slopes. Many many Thanks … for your id assistance.
Could this be a species of Argostemma??? Yes Argostemma courtallense Arn. of Rubiaceae family. Yes … you are right This appears to be Argostemma sarmentosum Wall., as Argostemma courtallense Arn. does not have distribution in the area. Agree Yes, I too agree with Argostemma.
