Pankaj ji it is surprising that students of Dr. Yadav from Kolhapur discovered this plant on a hill 80 km south of Pune in a small habitat of 1 sq. meter at 1000 m above MSL. The student who discovered it explained just the direction over phone and I could also locate the plant like searching a pin in an ocean. It is amazing that about 10 plants grow on the face of a cliff and bloom in each winter. I don't think this has distribution any where else and wonder who and how anyone would have introduced it here.
