Thank you Garg ji, You are right. The specimen at FOI doesn't agree with the images of Phlogacanthus thyrsiformis on GBIF, particularly the details of flower petals. At one time I had searched the web for images of this species, but somehow missed these GBIF images. However, I am quite sure this plant is not Phlogacanthus thyrsiformis. As I had mentioned in an earlier thread, these two are known to be different plants in Manipur - Phlogacanthus thyrsiformis has well used medicinal properties, whereas the other plant has none. J.R.I. Wood also thought it is a different plant, but was unable to identify it. For the time being I will treat it as an unexplained plant.
