Elatostema acuminatum

A very rare Critically Endangered indigenous herb occurs in the forests of the lower montane wet zone. H. Trimen has recorded it from Dolosbage (in 1868) and no other specimen available as per Dassanayake M.D. & Clayton W.D, 1999. However recently published Illustrated field guide to the flowers of Sri Lanka Volume 3 by Vlas de J. et.al is illustrated with a photograph of this species.
