eFI data relating both the concerned species is very confusing, be it nature of inflorescence, shape of buds, or flowering season. Distribution is very important factor.
I agree with Ms Radha on ID, but not on points raised to justify the ID, simply because it contradicts the identification of several other threads. So, I would rather like to wait for Dr. Santhosh Kumar, Dr. Satish Phadke, Dr. Gurcharan Singh and Mr. Dinesh Valke to know the actual ID of this species.
