Thanks Aruna ji for a big lead. Yes it is Centratherum (this cultivated
plant is not even recorded in Hortus Third, which rarely misses any plant).
There is lot of confusion in spellings with from Centranthemum to
Centrantherum. The correct species is Centratherum intermedium (Link) Less.
Though regarded by GRIN as synonym of C. punctatum Cass., but Kew Plant List
considers C. intermedium as an accepted name.
Thanks a lot Aruna ji again
