Lepidagathis cristata ?

attaching images of Lepidagathis bandransis from Nasik for sharing

Images are not clear. Do you have side view of the flower ?

Are the leaves of the same plant ?

Images at FOI look different.

Pl. see it matches the neotype at link.

Yes … the leaves and the flowers are of the same plants as for more images i will send with in few days

mean while some older pics. Attachments (3)

Can it be Lepidagathis clavata as per GBIF.- specimen 1 and specimen 2, though I am doubtful?

It is Lepidagathis trinervis

Thanks, … I think looks different from images at Lepidagathis trinervis Nees and as per GBIF– specimen
I think it is closer to L.prostrata as per GBIF– specimen

It is Lepidagathis trinervis

But I am not satisfied with these images being Lepidagathis trinervis Nees as per images herein and as per GBIF

Could it be Lepidagathis gandhii Gnanasek., A.F.J.King, S.M.Kasim & Arisdason

The first link shared by … of NGCPR is of a newly described Lepidagathis dalzelliana S. More, Mane, M Sawant & H Bhosale

Small Plant for ID : Nasik : 19JAN22 : AK – 27:
Another very tiny spiny plant seen at the base of Borgad today (19.1.22).

Lepidagathis cristata

Difficult to me to validate or otherwise as per images at Lepidagathis cristata

Not a problem.

I had posted one from the same area in Nov. It had flowers.

I had suggested Lepidagathis trinervis.
Will check for the flowers when I revisit the place.

Only option I see is Lepidagathis cristata Willd.
