Please check for Catharanthus pusillus from Apocynaceae, A wild guess. If it looks like this it is Catharanthus pusillus, a weed in cultivated fields. Thank you ... for the Id. Yes it does look like C. pusillus. Though the flower posted here is a little larger ... many of the google images matched Kindly help in identification Herb found on wasteland. Solapur Pictures taken on 29June13, 7.30AM. I had earlier posted a picture of the same plant, but your images are so clear compared to that. It was identified as some Vinca sp.

Catharanthus pusillus : Attachments (3) Location :- Krishi vigyan kendra, khapat, porbander Dt :- 26 Aug. 2018 picture features are not very sharp and clear to me, but my guess is its vinca sp? barmasi in gujarati. lets see what ... thinks These three photographs (i.e. IMG-20180826-WA0069.jpg, IMG-20180826-WA0070.jpg, IMG-20180826-WA0071.jpg) are of Catharanthus pusillus (Murray) G.Don. [Apocynaceae]. It is known as કરપતીરાઇ in Gujarati. what a logical name.... yes it is tinier than usual periwinkle.... i thought it was tiny because of stunted growth ie accidental happens in my own garden sometimes when we are away for weeks on end. but its not accidental or incidental to lack of nutrients, its a legitimate species ... good to know...
