In the key the sp. get separated by number of stamens, 2 in case of N. reticulatus and 4 in case of P. ritchei. Leaves in former are 7-8 cm long, ovate, reticulate (which can be seen in picture), glabrous and in latter case are 3 cm, orbicular/cordate and hairy. The bracts in latter are bristly and hairy which also do not show in picture. The former is common at Mahabaleshwar. I suggested this ID on the basis of general impression because both plants are so familiar to me but I am glad that this question has occured to some one. Regards, Shrikant
