Plants of Dicliptera tend to be more robust with flowers more or less clustered, whereas in Perstrophe paniculata they form spreading panicle and are on long slender stalks. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
