Dear Ushadi ji, It is collected from some undisturbed forest slopes. The hillock is protected from grazing which is comes under piligrim area. It is not at all home gardening plant. It is not matches with the characters of other * Peristrophe* species which were reported from India (FBI, Gamble, State Floras of AP, MH, MP, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, Rajastahn,etc, EFC & EFP. It may be a new species or new variety?. Due to lack of proper literature we were not able to fix the identity confirmation. Thanks to Mr. Garg ji, Dr. Singh ji, Dr. Ushadi ji for resurfacing this taxon and also valuable comments.
