Based on feedback from Facebook Indian Flora Group and having second look at calyx, I feel this may be Taxillus<\/i> sp., perhaps T. vestitus<\/i>. Let us wait further.<\/p>\n

\n

It is Taxillus vestitus<\/i>, mostly found on Quercus leuctrichophora<\/i> trees.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Is this entire thing a parasite…then where is the host?<\/p>\n

The tree from which it was hanging. The tree can be seen in the first and second (partly) photographs..<\/p>\n

Perhaps this needs relook. Could be Taxillus vestitus<\/i> or any other species.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>This is again a parasite, shot in<\/span> May 2012<\/span> from Chakrata region<\/span>.. perhaps again a <\/span>Scurulla<\/i>, differs in more tomentose leaves and flowers few …though they were not open at the time, hope to get id..<\/span><\/div>\n

Could these be berries of\u00a0Scurrula pulverulenta<\/i>\u00a0(Wallich<\/span>) G. Don????<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Yes it seems that the clavate structures are fruits. To me it seems <\/span>S. pulverulenta<\/i> as also suggested by …
\n<\/span>Fruits are clavate ovoid, 8-10 mm long and crowned by cup shaped calyculus in <\/span>S. cordifolia<\/b>.
\n<\/span>In S. eleta<\/b> fruits are 5 mm long, glabrous<\/span>. <\/span>In S.pulverulenta<\/b> fruits are 6-8 mm long clavate, mealy tomentose.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thank you very much …. for valuable feedback,\u00a0I mistook the fruits as unopened flowers…will look for this again, I remember the place exactly…<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Assuming that these fruits are formed after corolla falls off, and looking at the shape of calyx, it may also be Taxillus vestitus<\/i> or any other species.<\/p>\n
