Shrikant ji
My confusion was between T. rhomboidea and T. pentandra
This is from eFlora of Pakistan
Stamens mostly 15, rarely fewer but not less than 10. Spines on the capsule
glabrous Triumfettla rhomboidea
Stamens mostly 5, rarely 10, spines on the
capsule with fine spreading hairs on the
dorsal side
Triumfetta pentandra
