Yes! I too am surprised of seeing the flowers that are single colored ones, that too yellow. The one that we get here in further south is brownish/reddish with purple/dark brown/red blotches on the center. This is not even *Trias bonaccordensis*. Please refer the following link which is a reliable one as far as I experienced, so far. This is something different. I want Neil ji to please preserve some flowers in 70% alcohole and if possible please make a herbarium of the specimen with flowers. *Trias stocksii* starts flowering here (from Central Karnataka towards further south) by February.
