Yes Shrikant ji But this as well our plant have leaf-opposed inflorescence, not axillary, G. oppositifolia now G. optiva Drumm. is reported from Western Himalayas. I think inflorescence axillary or opposite the leaf is an important character in the genus. The G. serrulata was placed under G. multiflora in FBI as well as Flora of China, does not seem to be reported from Central and Western Himalayas.
G. hirsuta also has axillary clusters. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
