It is always a pleasure to watch all your photographs. Although I may not be able to comment on each one of them. Wonderful pictures! Dear friends, this must be Maesa indica for sure; else please correct me. To me looks different from images at Oh! Thanks … for validating. Will wait for someone to help with the ID. By any chance, would the posted plant be some Antidesma ? This is Embelia. For sp id, Flora of Karnataka will have to be checked. |
