*Tribulus complex* This image from my ppt slide has pictures of 3 species of *Tribulus*. They are distinct in general morphology, style, fruits, thorns, indumentum, leaves etc. as you can see in the pictures.
Reproducing the key here: A simple macroscopic key to distinguish the 3 southern indian species : 1. Style absent or very short (< 0.5 mm long) --- *Tribulus terrestris* 1. Style present, 1.5-2 mm long ---------------------- 2 2. Style glabrous ------------------------------------------- *Tribulus lanuginosus* 2. Style pubescent ---------------------------------------- *Tribulus subramanyamii* Hope this gives some clarity oin id of these 3 spp. Look forward to your comments/observations. With regards R.
