Tabish, Thanks for the interesting meaning of urticifolia and confirmation of Mr Garg's id. Both the pictures in your and Mr Garg's links are similar to my photograph but not exact in terms of the coloration. Cannt really tell about the structure etc. as this is the only photo I have. Shall I wait for some more suggestions or freeze the ID as Chirita urticifolia? Thank you all once again. Sushmita Jha
