Saroj ji it seems only way to tell them apart is to either diligently measure etc and most importantly observe the fruit formation per this write up by univ michigan Ms Anderson <http://webapps.lsa.umich.edu/herb/malpigh/galclade/galphimia/Gal1.html> scroll to the lower third of the page ....
*"Galphimia gracilis* is easily told apart from the true *G. glauca* and *G. brasiliensis* by the flowers. In *G. gracilis* the petals fall as the fruit matures; in *G. glauca* the petals are persistent even in fruit. In *G. gracilis* many flowers of a dense inflorescence are open at one time, and the petals (claw and limb) are 8–14 mm long and 4–8 mm wide; in *G. brasiliensis* only 2 or 3 small flowers are open at one time on a sparse inflorescence, and the petals are only 4–5 mm long and ca. 3 mm wide. *Galphimia glauca* * and G. brasiliensis are not cultivated.
