Dear Dr Rawat
Well Done. I am in agreement that your suggestion is awfully close. Pity the
images do notshow fully developed flowers or better close-ups.
'Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal' say 1000-2600m Himalaya, India,
east to W&C China, Malaysia.
But the nomenclature is complicated. They have it as Melasma arvense. Hooker
knew it as Alectra indica.
Whichever genus is currently accepted, they have been transferred from
Scrophulariaceae to Orobanchaceae.
I hear some non-botanists thinking that not only do taxonomists change species
names and names of generabut families as well!
Unfortunately, M.arvense is not currently an accepted name on 'The Plant List'
- I cannot readily find which genus it is included under here?

I invested some time to find the ID of this plant which I have never seen in
nature.
It is either Melasma avense (=Alectra avensis) of Scrophulariaceae or a species
very close to it.

This plant is neither Rhinanthus minor (known as 'Yellow-Rattle' in the UK) nor

I shall see what I or others can come up with. These sub-tropical locations
and associated flora are not familiarterritory for me..... Hopefully someone
else can "come to the rescue". Seems quite distinctive, so someone shouldbe
able to recognise it.
By the way, two 'Rhinanthus' was included in 'Flora of British India' one a
synonym for Pedicularis bifida (Scrophulariaceae)the other for Geniospermum
elongatum (Lamiaceae).

Forwarding again for Id assistance please.Some earlier relevant feedback:
| It was unfortunate that when I went to the spot after a couple of weeks to
get pictures of the plant there was no trace of any plant .
However, from your hint and comparison of web pictures I guess it could be
Rhinanthus minor L. (accepted name).
Request experts for opinion.
Thank you.
