Beautiful photos Prasad ji I can understand the colour difference which is possible as you have rightly explained. Even the camera settings can show some difference in shades of colours. I was trying to emphasize this in one of similar queries related to some other plant. One can clearly see the same characters in both the pictures above. The typical stamenal structure : Here the subequal stamens(Osbeckia) are nicely seen whereas in Melastoma the stamens are grossly unequal. Hope I am right?
