It seems to be similar to what … had sent<\/p>\n
\n

Its Melastoma<\/i> species <\/div>\n

\n
What I understand from … reply to … rji’s post (efloraofindia 132196) is that the stamens are equal in length in Osbeckia<\/i> <\/font>whereas they are unequal in Melastoma<\/i> sp.<\/font> In that case the plant that I have sent must be Osbeckia<\/i> sp only. Moreover the flower in the attached photograph matches with Osbeckia cupularis<\/i> in flowersofindia website<\/font>
<\/font>Please clarify<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Yes match with Osbeckia<\/i> but sp may be different as upper side of leaves not hairy in this case and also color of flower is different<\/font><\/p>\n
