Dear Friends, I have a confession : In my earlier post ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/AhKBuSzkA5U) seeking the ID of this plant i failed to elaborate on the habit & habitat of this plant. Because i didn't have any photo of the leaves or stem at that time. Neither did i observe it carefully.
So, i hereby apologize to Mani Sir for making an inadvertent inconvenience to him.
