Dear Dinesh ji and Garg ji, D. terniflora, originally described from Sylhet in Bangladesh is a highly misinterpreted species. My observations are based on examination of type specimens. The type of D. thwaitesii shows simple inflorescence with often one or two branches near the base and small flowers, up to 10 mm long. Your images from Karnataka agree well with that. D. terniflora bears much larger flowers and paniculate inflorescence. I will reach back to you with final conclusions in near future. Regards, Tapas.
