Solenanthus circinatus, very common in Pine Forests in April. My photographs on Flowers of India were in middle May, so I could not capture beautiful young flowers which you have been able to capture. I feel it should be Solenanthus stamineus as per keys in Flora of Pakistan and as per images/ specimens at Pl. confirm or otherwise.
Yes, it seems very close to Solenanthus stamineus dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant According to Kazmi corolla of S.circinatus is blue and the corolla of S.stamineus is dark red and very rarely yellowish. Here the corolla seems to be white from the photo. Requires more clarification by experts if corolla is really white and not yellowish.. I guess it is closer to Solenanthus circinnatus Ledeb.

Pl. check the keys at Flora of Pakistan On second thought I think it is not Solenanthus, which is a very tall plant. The plant shared by … is plant which was earlier known as Moltkia parviflora, Mertensia exserta, now known as Pseodomertensis parviflora, the plant does not grow taller than 20 cm, it is common in forest shade.
Strange but true, same plant was uploaded by … on May 7, 2019 and I identified it as Pseudomertensive parviflora on May 19 That is why they say you lose your memory with age.
By the way this genus is not yet updated on our website, now no need to upload my herbarium specimen.
Decalepidanthus parviflorus (Decne.) Dickoré & Hilger Yes, it is Decalepidanthus parviflorus, dear … thank you very much for ID my plant |
