Garg Sir, I have searched the net once again and my conclusion (conclusion of a novice) is -
1) It is a member of Gesneriaceae family 2) sepal and petal colour suggest a *Aeschynanthus* sp., might be *A. lanceolatus* (http://www.infojardin.com/foro/showthread.php?t=30103) or some hybrid ( http://www.zoonar.com/photo/aeschynanthus-mona-lisa-schamblume-sinnblume_240473.html) or another similar looking - http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/47110/#b 3) leaf margin and texture suggest might be a *Besleria* sp., .... don't know if there is any *Besleria* without decussate leaves. This link might be of some use- http://jerojetw.blogspot.in/2010_11_01_archive.html Thank you & Regards, Surajit Koley On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 7:41 PM, jmgarg1 <[email protected]> wrote: > Forwarding again for Id assistance please. > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Shantanu Bhattacharya <[email protected]> > Date: 14 September 2011 21:13 > Subject: [efloraofindia:81837] Flower from Neora Valley NP > To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> > > > Hi > sharing the image of an unknown wild flower....shot near Kolakham-Lava in > the Neora Valley NP of the Eastern Himalayas. > Time: December.2010. > Camera: Kodak z980 > Height: 5500 feet approx. > > regards > Shantanu. > > > > > > -- > With regards, > J.M.Garg > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 > 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' > The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species*& > eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged > alphabetically & place-wise): > http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
