Nilgiris: Elatostema for identification 011212MK02:
Please help me to identify this herb found in the shades of montane forests. The habitat is a small stream; and this herb also found as epiphyte on lower tree trunk. The plant was about 1 feet long. What is this Urticaceae member, any Elatostema sp.?

Leaf: up to 5 cm long

I think this is Elatostema surculosum as per Flora of peninsular India (disc., keys and specimen), now considered as a syn. of Elatostema monandrum (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H.Hara in Catalogue of Life
