It can only be my belief Satish ji. May need to stand corrected. This sighting is of 2007. Have concluded to this ID with the then limited knowledge.
This plant, as much as I can recollect, stood about a metre, with its top end of stem in a nodding fashion, with a long lax raceme. Let me put in a new post, another sighting with similar features. Hopefully we will then be able to resolve this doubt. Regards.
