As Dr.Giby has pointed out flowering generally occurs on rocky areas [which have a thin layer of soil] between July and September . Sending a few photographs. With regards, Neil Soares. --- On Fri, 8/5/11, Smilax004 <[email protected]> wrote: From: Smilax004 <[email protected]> Subject: [efloraofindia:76134] Re: Flora of Sahyadri & Konkan -Rhamphicarpa Longiflora To: "efloraofindia" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, August 5, 2011, 5:54 PM If I am right the leaves of this species is very narrow and grows on thin layer of soil on rocks along with Utricularia spp Drocera spp and all. This plant is active with flowers only during rainy season and getting such nice pictures in the rain is great effort! New name of this plant is Rhamphicarpa fistulosa (Hochst.) Benth. of Scrophulariaceae family. If you could upload a picture of plant with leaves would be useful to understand more about the plant, for people who are new to such kind of plants.
