Thanks, Radha ji, for the wonderful presentation. Keys in Flora of Pakistan <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200021470> are as below: 1 Scapes thick, 1.5-2 cm broad; spikes dense, short Orobanche cernua var. nepalensis <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242423560> + Scapes less than 1 cm broad; spikes elongated, somewhat lax below (2) <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200021470#KEY-1-2>
2 (1) <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200021470#KEY-1-1> Calyx lateral segments 2-fid with equal pair of teeth Orobanche cernua var. cernua <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242423559> + Calyx lateral segments 2 fid to entire, often with unequal pair of teeth Orobanche cernua var. pseudo-clarkei <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=250065501> I am unable to see the calyx properly. Pl. check. As per Catalogue of life <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/5e83becc0220bbfd94fbac751755f649>, *Orobanche cernua* var. *nepalensis* DC. is a syn. of* Orobanche cernua * var. *desertorum* G.Beck with no distribution in India. However, Catalogue of life <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/4716510064f019b6fdaf6050078f7d2d> gives distribution of *Orobanche cernua *var. *pseudoclarkei* S.M.H.Jafri in India.
