Cyclocodon species?- East Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh

East Kameng’s plant for identification: 4 high res. images.
Have a request here for the attached photographs from Arunachal Pradesh at elev. 1800 msl. Kindly have a look please.

Please check Pankycodon purpureus (Wall.) D.Y.Hong & X.T.Ma

Pl. check the fruit of Pankycodon purpureus (Wall.) D.Y.Hong & X.T.Ma as per GBIF specimens (one), though to me it looks different.

Could not find anything close as per comparative images at

What are the species reported from your area?

Do you think it can be from some related genus?

Codonopsis javanica (Campanulaceae)

Okay – Thanks …, was bit sure for Codonopsis sp. as per discussion with one of my colleagues.

Please check with Codonopsis javanica (Blume) Hook.f. & Thomson (=Campanumoea javanica Blume). Family: Campanulaceae.

I think fruit and leaves look different as per GBIF:

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4127085559
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/3005183061

I tried in all of Campanulaceae (https://efloraofindia.com/efi/campanulaceae/, http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=10152).

Fruits appear similar in construction to that of
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/cyclocodon-axillaris/

But I could not find a matching species.

Yes, very typical specimens and much closer to Cyclocodon, will be checked for flower morphology to confirm.

More opinions are greatly needed. Further views would be appreciated.
