Thank you very much Balkar ji, Dinesh ji and Nidhan ji for the appreciating words. Further, thanks to Shrikant ji for reminding me about the genus. I actually forgot about this unique plant and hope the coordinator would kindly consider and incorporate this as an upload for Rubiaceae week. I am sorry for the negligence from my side. Nidhan ji was correct in his observation that this plant, at first sight, would looks like a solanaceae member, especially the anthers. But a close look on the floral characters will give you hints of Rubiaceae. A very tricky tiny beauty.
