This was spotted on the rocks on a hill near Satara, Maharashtra in Oct 2015. Can this be some Striga?

The earlier year, I had spotted Striga gesnerioides in the same area.

Please ID.

I too think it to be Striga, most probably a freak variation of Striga gesnerioides.

Let us wait for comment(s).

This may not be Striga gesnerioides as per images and details herein. Colour seems to be totally different.

May be something else.

seems to be Striga indica,

recently it is reported from Maharashtra as addition to Maharashtra flora.

Me also collected it from Maharashtra.
