Yes it is Cyanotis lanceolata, dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,
Yes, may be Cyanotis lanceolata Wight
On further perusal, I think it may be C.villosa as per Mayur ji’s publication.
May pl. be confirmed by experts.
This group has a big complex, I am working on it. Recently, Cyantois ceylanica also been reported from Andhra Pradesh; it is also similar to C. racemosa. I would like to comment more in a few weeks.
