And yes colleagues Two more things to be noted in my specimens. The anthers seem to be bluish in colour (P. angulata) whereas they are yellow in Dinesh ji's specimen (P. minima/lagascae). Another feature to note is that Flora of China keys out the two species on the basis of fruiting pedicel being 10-25 mm long in P. angulata, 3-8 mm in P. minima. Mt seems to be atleast less than 10 mm.
