Many many thanks for the ID, Garg ji. ... went through the links you provided; they were real helpful. At http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Chitra.html ... in its description here, is mentioned a key ID feature of this plant -- Leaves, in *tufts of 5-8*, lance-like, simple *spiny, toothed*, leathery, stalkless, pointed, 4.9 cm long, 1.8 cm broad ... I returned to my pictures ... was glad to see hints of spines at the margin, albeit loosely spaced.
I believe this plant to be *B. aristata*. Thanks once again; long pending ID resolved. Regards. On Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 8:43 AM, J.M.
