Location of Halenia perrottetii, Hoppea dichotoma and Centaurium centaurioides: Can any one help me to locate Halenia perrottetii, Hoppea dichotoma and Centaurium centaurioides in South India??? I have seen Hoppea on wet rock faces growing as a tiny herb within small vegetation clumps along with Utricularia and other tiny sedges. Centaurium is more of a marshy habitat plant, rice fields left unattended after harvest should be a good place to look for this plant. For Halenia you will have to go search among grass slopes on the margins of the shola forests in Niligiri hill ranges.

Centaurium mairei from Bangalore, KA. Please validate the id... Thanks ... for another niceupload. I think you mean to say it as Centaurium meyeri (efi page). Pl. confirm. Both Tropicos and TPL use the spelling: Centaurium mairei Zeltner. An another record of Tropicos says C. pulchellum var. meyeri is the accepted name. But, IPNI and Fl. Pakistan use C. meyeri (Bunge) Druce (note the difference in author names, too). According to Fl.Pak., this name is now a synonym of Centaurium pulchellum var. meyeri (Bunge) Omer So, I think we should use the latest combination: Centaurium pulchellum var. meyeri (Bunge) Omer
