Interesting plant indeed. I tried to find the typical petal with a frond observed in Polygalaceae but a more closeup shot would show it clearly. Polygalaceae contains some 17 genera and 800 species. In Maharashtra only 2 genera are reported
Leaves are amplexicaul; Flowers in spikes; stamens 4-5; capsule toothed.......*Salomonia* Leaves not as above; flowers in racemes; stamens 8 capsule entire.................*Polygala* I can see somewhat amplexicaul leaves here. The spikes are very long as compared to other Polygala species posted on the group so far. I would like to know the place and other details of the plant Mithilesh ji.
