Thanks Saroj! *Vaccinium exaristatum *does seem very close to to my plant. The description of the leaves at FOC agrees well, elliptic, with 4-5 pairs of veins, and toothed margin. Triangular sepals, erect or curled-back, triangular flower lobes also agree. The flowers of my plant also appear to agree with the images at earth.com and plantillustrations. Altitude agrees too. To me it looks like Saroj has nailed it! Tabish ------------------------------------------- <http://www.flowersofindia.net>www.flowersofindia.net The waterhole of flower lovers
