This plant at a popular resort called "Kshanbhar Vishranti" near Karnala Bird Sanctuary. The second and third photos were on a dry day, shows typical soft red soil settled on the plant leaves, as is seen on plants lining roads on Western Ghats.
Many thanks Yazdi ji, you may be correct about lack of phosphorous. However afraid that my camera settings of exposure (to tackle low diffused light owing to translucent acrylic roof) may have brought about some unreal colours to the leaves. Gurcharan ji, checked on "hexapetalous", is that inadvertently put OR an accepted variance of spelling "hexapetalus" ? Regards.
