The Golden Nose Stud!

The Mukkutti (or Mukkuthi), as it is called in the lacal language is a small flowering plant that grows in somewhat moist ground. Mostly the ground wher it grows si found tyo be covered in moss (probably because of the moisture).

The plant bears small yellow flowers that appear somewhat like the Golden Studs worn by some ladies in their noses. (The word 'Mukkuthi' in local lingo means 'Nose Stud'). The flowers appear fully open in the mornings and tend to close up by afternoon.

I don't know the botanical name of the plant nor am aware of any other qualities of the plant
