Samir ji I agree with your points. Initially I thought how come your plant * L.prostarta* is erect but later I read the description which states that the plant is semierect. Giby ji I can't comment on the number of stamens from my images as the stigma is large similar to one in illustrations which is concealing the stamens in Samirji's pictures too.Sorry.
