Herb for id from Amarkantak, M.P.-NS August 06 : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3)

This herb was found growing near Amarkantak, M.P. (July 2016).

I need the expert opinion for its id, I think this belongs to Caryophyllaceae..

Please suggest id..!!

Alternate leaves, racemose inflorescence, 5 stamens indicate some other family. Primulaceae?

Is it Lysimachia obovata…? Thanks for the lead …!!

I think appears close with images at http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Manipur%20Loosestrife.html

Yes …, thanks…!!
