Have you ever tried buying common practical botany books by Kumar and

Please stop looking into picture books on first go. Check the plants using
good keys then to confirm only use the picture guides. It will certainly
increase your knowledge.
Very interesting. Please share it separately. This is not Pholidota.
Please also share other pics of the same.

Its good that people are not collecting from wild but growing hybrid
