I think gurcharan sir is the perfect person to identify all your plants Suresh Ji, as all are from J&. One thing i only can say you are doing a heroic effort to collect and photograph the plants of one of the biodiversity hot spot of the country. All ur collections are unique which i saw for the first time in my life due to the existence in a different phytogeographic zone. This image is another great shot. All the best for ur efforts.
