I know and regret for bad quality pics, but still hope to find id as the flower colour looks quite unusual to me. It was raining badly that day, I could not get any better pics of this. I hope I can get clue up to Genus level, if not species. … thank you for sharing such a beautiful Tricarpelema J. K. Morton and your guess is right, this is Commelinaceae member. Exactly could not say the species, because this genus having great diversity in NE India,. Total 8 species, only 1 species was found in Africa while remaining 8 are distributed through NE India to the Philippines and Borneo. I am taking my words back … and all………. This could be Tinantia erecta . Family- Commelinaceae This looks like Tinantia erecta, a genus new to me…thanks for your efforts.. References: |
