I think this is *Striga angustifolia*. The first picture shows 3 nerves per calyx lobe (to be verified), totaling 15 nerves thus qualifying to be S. angustifolia. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=131731
In S. densiflora, the calyx is totally 5-nerved, 1 per lobe, as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Striga_densiflora_%28Agya%29_in_Hyderabad,_AP_W_IMG_9825.jpg Regards Vijayasankar Raman National Center for Natural Products Research University of Mississippi On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 7:27 AM, Umeshkumar Tiwari <[email protected]>wrote: > Yes This is striga densiflora > > > On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 1:54 PM, Satish Phadke <[email protected]>wrote: > >> *Striga densiflora* >> Orobanchaceae; earlier Scrophulariaceae. >> Root parasite on some grasses >> Dr Satish Phadke >> >> >> >> On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 1:52 PM, satyendra tiwari <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> Dear All, >>> I photographed this plant today at my farm near Bandhavgarh. >>> Plant height is about 20 cm flowers across about 2 cm. >>> May I request to help in ID please. >>> Regards and thanks. >>> satyendra >>> >>> -- >>> Satyendra K.Tiwari. >>> Wildlife Photographer, Naturalist, Tour Leader >>> H.NO <http://h.no/> 129, P.O.Tala, Distt Umariya. >>> M.P.
