Osbeckia nepalensis var. albiflora ??


Do you have any other image showing side view of the  fruits clearly?


I guess ID is correct !


Melastoma malabathricum ‘Alba’

As all the stamens are of the same size, it can not be Melastoma.

Google :

Melastoma malabathricum ‘Alba’.

Another plant from Silchar seen by my daughter in August,18.
I have only one picture of this too and no further details.
Osbeckia Species?

Yes


Close up details of calyx are required.
However, check Osbeckia stellata Buch.-Ham. ex Ker Gawl., the most common species in north east.

…, thanks for the suggested id. I have only one picture.


Can you post the high resolution image of this?

Pl. check Osbeckia nepalensis Hook. as per keys and details herein.
I am not sure.
