Request ID of the small shrub : 11 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (5) Request your kind help in identifying a small shrub Photographed in East Khasi Hills in June 2017 Thanks … for sharing this.. I have also shot this from Shillong this year.. It is a Leptodermis sp. but I think it neither matches L. lanceolata nor L. kumaonensis.. Thanks, … Pl. check with images at As corolla appears pubescent outside, it may be /species/m—z/r/rubiaceae/leptodermis/leptodermis-kumaonensis Does not matches with images at Leptodermis kumaonensis also. Pl. check with images at Leptodermis stapfiana To me it appears close. Is there any other species found in Meghalaya ? Haven’t progressed much with this much further than the genus name Leptodermis. Leptodermis lanceolata Wall. ?? No, … as outer side of corolla is pubescent. There is a possibility of the shrub being Leptodermis griffithii Hk. f. L. griffithii has creamy/ white flowers often with purplish throat. In my case the flowers were all cream/ white without the purplish throat. Also, my specimen has a hairy throat, that is not mentioned in the description that i have seen. More on it as I come across more descriptions. Thanks, … Again I could not find any image of this species on google search. Attaching a description of it in Flora of British India to aid description 2 Attachments
