Location: Kalimpong, WB, India
Date: 28 November 2019
Elevation: 1350m.
Habitat: Wild / Cultivated I am not sure about the id of this plant. B. cylindraceum will have a large bract just before the flower starts. I dont see that in your image. I doubt this is khasyanum. Sorry, I gave him wrong name by mistake earlier. B. cylindraceum will have large bract before flowers and B. khasyanum will not have. Hence this is khasyanum. I think both were lacking large bract. Ok …!
