The sepals appear to be fused up to the middle or so, hence indicative of *T. **idukkiana *and/or *T. duchartrei.*
The arrangement of stamens *(3+3+3+1) *in your first batch of photographs looks quite unusual. The flowers can be "both reddish purple and yellowish in *T. duchartrei *and *T. idukkiana* <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Shaiju-Pushpangadan/publication/287811107_floral_morphology/links/5679718c08aeaa48fa4ab35b/floral-morphology.pdf> *.*" How does one distinguish between *T. **idukkiana *and *T. duchartrei*? Hope Dr. Santhosh can help with this. Best wishes, Viplav On Sat, 17 Aug 2024 at 11:59, J.M.
