You have solved my confusion. We have a species of Peristrophe growing in
Delhi, very tall with delicate spreading inflorescence, and identified as P.
bicalyculata, now correctly known as P. paniculata. The plant uploaded by
Satish ji was perhaps uploaded earlier also and identified as P. paniculata.
I was confused when I found a similar plant in Manali, which I know is much
different from our Delhi Plant, being shorter, stouter and with condensed
inflorescence and twice larger flowers, although frankly flowers look
similar to Peristrophe in appearance. From Collet's Flora and Bubu's flora
I identify this Manali plant as Dicliptera bupleuroides, and it appears
reasonable. I will upload them shortly. Thanks for the lead.
Here is some more food for discussion. To me it appears that the
photograph of Peristrophe bicalyculata on FlowersOfIndia website really
belongs to Dicliptera bupleuroides. The flowers are in clusters and not in
loose panicles (characteristic of P. paniculata) and flowers much larger.
Another plant: This from Dinesh Valke's photostream to me appears to be
genuine plant of Peristrophe paniculata
