There is some confusion whether our plant should be called as L. macrostachya Benth. (Kew Plant List considers it as unresolved name) or L. philippensis Benth. which is reported from Nepal Himalayas but without citation of synonym. Flora of British India considers this as a variety of L. philippensis with shorter petioles and more glabrous parts. My photograph number 4 looks to be the same but has much interrupted inflorescence with distant flowers, or may represent early stage of the same plant. Your view please.
Here is link for comparison with L. grandiflora http://www.aperturenepal.com/index.php?page=19#gallery/ROOFING_29D07F... This is indeed Lindenbergia mactrostachya. Quite common in Morni Hills area.
