very nice. in that park is it natural or planted?
Thanks ...
This plant is endemic to northern Western Ghats (not sure of the exact range) - naturally grows in wild.
NPGS / GRIN lists some more states of India - Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh ... friends from these states may validate this distribution.
I am yet to come across this in wild or cultivated state...!!
..., this erect herb / subshrub stands about a metre tall, and bears flowers in axils, blooms early morning.
Most possibly it has restricted distribution, endemic to erstwhile Bombay Presidency.
