Might be a gracilis, but need better picture of the side of the inflorescence to look at its branching pattern...
better take photos of several, you plant has a number of them... I have two g. gracilis in my balcony right now... You are right Ramjee Gamail ji.. the leaf veins are not prominent... but that is not a criterion for diagnosis... I have recently written a lot about Galphimia since it was a subject of making diagnosis myself...and the it just so happened we had several threads... some turned out to be long and lively with very useful conversations: I will mention two: take a look at these: 1): a useful set of links and the process of arriving at the diagnosis was given in two threads... one such is : http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/f6002e84fe14fa62/56547b876046bdcd?lnk=gst&q=galphimia+usha+di#56547b876046bdcd I had written (as a doctor) to another doctor so it was in form of differenatial diagnosis... but without medical jargon... in plain english... and Pankaj ji had shared nice bw pics ... 2 ): and we had another discussion at this thread : http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/2d8b4cb840e4f170/c678a40dd3cb569e?lnk=gst&q=galphimia+usha+di#c678a40dd3cb569e look at it.... will help for now and forever in diagnosis of galphimia ..... which the nursery trade in India seems to be very enamoured of right now...
