Excellent shots, …! <\/div>\n

I think it is Indotristicha ramosissima<\/i> (Podostemaceae<\/em>).<\/p>\n

I think it should be Dalzellia ceylanica<\/em><\/font><\/a>\u00a0as per FOI<\/font><\/a> and Flora of Peninsular India<\/font><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n
I do not think this is Dalzellia<\/em>. According to the key –\u00a0Flora of Peninsular India<\/font><\/a>\u00a0the flowers here are zygomorphic. Flower morphology is similar to Cladopus hookeriana<\/em><\/font><\/a> (syn Griffithella hookeriana<\/em>). But the family is diverse, so I am not sure if there is enough detail to confirm.<\/div>\n
