Gentian like creature from Hong Kong
« on: May 24, 2010, 09:36:50 PM »
Can anybody help with an ID of the underneath plant?. I photographed it last week at ~800 m altitude in Hong Kong. It seems to be something gentian like (but I am terrible with this type of plants so could be completely wrong) and the curious thing is the flowers are touch sensitive and close within a minute after being touched.

G. loureirii is the only species found in Hong Kong. Interesting that it is touch sensitive!

Thanx! Sounds like the correct ID.

Any idea what this next one is from Taiwan?
