Names compiled / updated at https://dineshvalke.blogspot.com/ It is a garden plant used for flower beds. I had an opportunity to grow this in my institutional garden. Of course long back. Photograph changed; earlier one identified at iNaturalist by Víctor de Paiva, to be of Angelonia biflora Benth. How to differentiate between the two? Víctor de Paiva’s comment in my observation at iNaturalist: The difference is in the leaves next to the flowers. Angelonia salicariifolia has ovate leaves and Angelonia biflora has lanceolate leaves.

Angeloniaspecies so far in efi Also check for Angelonia goyazensis, Angelonia angustiflolia. If it is A.goazensis every part of plant has fragrance. When you water them the smell comes stronger. Please check for this character.
Furthermore, based on a portion of the inflorescence it is not possible to confirm as other charters of the plant need to be checked. You may please check all the characters at your end. There is only one species of Angelonia (Scrophulariaceae) recorded so far for Karnataka, viz. A. salicariifolia Bonpl. and the description of the species is matching with these images.

Angelonia ¿ angustifolia ?
I tried to check on net, but could not find the differences between different species available in efi site.
I think our images has to be properly sorted out.
On checking books in India on net, I could only find only AngeloniabifloraBenth., Prodr. 10: 254 1846. (syn: Angelonia grandiflora C. Morr.) as per the following:
An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India By K. M. Matthew (1995)
Floriculture in India By Gurcharan Singh Randhawa, Amitabha Mukhopadhyay (1986)
I think all our posted plants may be this species and its cultivars.
yes, …, exotic and ornamental plants have many cultivars, and become difficult to sort out IDs.
After going through eFI, I suggest doing image search on Google, especially with genus name alone. The page provides a list of keywords at the top. Clicking on any, helps in doing a narrow search.
I have a strong feeling that the posted plant is Angelonia angustifolia.
Will wait for validating comments. Can you find any listing of Angelonia angustifolia in Indian literature ?
To me your posted plant also look similar to images Angelonia biflora at
I agree … The posted plant pictures seem to match those in your list of Angelonia biflora. There are too many hybrids and cultivars. But all species present in efi look similar as well on net. I am unable to find differences between them. We have to only rely on Indian literature to find out what species are actually available in India.
I could only two references I have given you. I think we require more such references along with keys if more than one species is present.
I hope … may be able to throw some light.
Nice catch. You are right. I have grown this plant in Chennai. Taking it as Angelonia salicariifolia as per discussions at Angelonia biflora & Angelonia salicariifolia Okay, thanks … I will revise my notes at flickr shortly.

While i was shooting this image from the river bank in ranpur, my team was desperately waiting for lunch. I forgot that completely as i saw this plant for the first time in my life and the flowers were so beautifully dancing due to cool breeze, i lost myself for the best ever close up of the flower. Finally when i returened to camp everyone has finished their lunch and it was around 4 pm. I took almost 2 hours to take around 50 snaps. i got heavly scolded by the team mets (as all are sociologist).

On going through ‘Tropical Garden Plants’ by Bose, Chowdhury & Sharma, can it be Angelonia angustifolia, due to deep voilet flowers compared to ‘white with voilet spots’ flowers of Angelonia grandiflora.

Species and distribution as per Flora of Peninsular India is given below: Angelonia biflora (Cultivated in Gardens)- AP, Telangana, TN, Odisha and Karnataka Angelonia gardneri– Karnataka- Shivamogga district Angelonia salicariifolia– Kerala- Idukki district I tried to find differences on the net, but unable to find any where. This makes confusion between the two all the more apparent. JSTOR Global Plants says that Angelonia biflora Benth. has been misidentified as A. salicariifolia Humb. & Bonpl., A. goyazensis Benth. and A. grandiflora Morren. I also strongly feel for this. There has been lot of misidentifications also on the net. Flora of Peninsular India gives distribution in hundreds of districts in India, but only one district for Angelonia gardneri and Angelonia salicariifolia It is also understandable as there are lot of variations, being planted in the gardens. Thus, I think we should take all our observations under Angelonia salicariifolia ? as Angelonia biflora, until there is more clarity in the matter. I think all Angelonia in FOI to be shifted to Angelonia biflora until there is more clarity in the matter.
Okay, thanks very much, … for pointing to mistaken identities.
I will check my sightings and do the needful correction, shortly. Yes, it is hard to distinguish between different plants of Angelonia currently on FOI. However, according to POWO, IndiaBiodiversity and eFloras-Nepal, Angelonia salicariifolia is the species which is introduced in India, and also naturalized. Angelonia biflora has not been introduced into India, according to POWO. Catalogue of Life gives the following distribution:
Angelonia salicariifolia Humb. & Bonpl. – Colombia (Antioquia, Arauca, Boyac, Casanare, Choc, Cundinamarca, Huila, Tolima, Valle), Venezuela (Aragua, Bolivar, Cojedes, Distrito Federal, Miranda, Monagas, Portuguesa, Tachira), NE-Brazil (Piaui, Pernambuco, Bahia, Alagoas, Sergipe), WC-Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul), Argentina (Chaco, Cordoba, Corrientes, Formosa, Misiones, Santa Fe), Paraguay (Alto Paraguay, Amambay, Central, Cordillera, Paraguari, Pres. Hayes, San Pedro), Cuba (I), Hispaniola (I), Puerto Rico (I), trop. Africa (I), Niue (I), Myanmar [Burma] (I), Australia (I) (Queensland (I)), New Caledonia (I), Guyana (I), Surinam (I), Cook Isl. (I) (Rarotonga (I)), Society Isl. (I) (Tahiti (I), Raiatea (I)), Gilbert Isl. (I) (Tarawa (I)), Sri Lanka (I), India (I), Nepal (I), Maldives (I), Benin (I), Guinea (I)
Angelonia biflora Benth. – NE-Brazil (Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraiba, Pernambuco), Guyana, Fiji (I), Vanuatu (I), Pitcairn Isl. (I), Society Isl. (I) (Tahiti (I)), Mauritius (I), La Runion (I), Rodrigues (I), Andamans (I), Nicobars (I), American Samoa (I) (Manua Isl. (I)), Marquesas Isl. (I) (Hiva Oa (I)), Myanmar [Burma] (I), Bangladesh (I), Rotuma Isl. (I)
Here are the links of Angelonia biflora
India Biodiversity Portal
If we agree with POWO and Catalogue of Life, we may dump Flora of Penisular India and Angelonia biflora, until we get difference between the two. Flora of Puerto Rico and Adjacent Islands: A Systematic Synopsis By Alain H. Liogier, Henri Alain Liogier, Luis F. Martorell (2000) shows introduction of Angelonia salicariifoliaHumb. & Bonpl. in India and Ceylon.
Ornamental Plants By Sabina George (2009) also shows Angelonia salicariifoliaHumb. & Bonpl. (syn: A. aungustifolia) in Indian Gardens. In view of more sources pointing to it, we can go for Angelonia salicariifolia until some more information comes up.
You are reviewing Angelonia.
This plant was seen in a park near the Zarwani Forest.
Probably a cultivated plant.

These are some Angelonia plants I have seen earlier in Muscat.
Very old photographs.
I realized that I missed posting these before.
For Species id please. Pl. see discussions at Angelonia biflora & Angelonia salicariifolia
I went through the discussion. I am confused.
Earlier I had labelled these as Angelonia angustifolia. What does Flora of Oman say ?
Are there more than one species listed with keys ? These plants were cultivated ones. Not native species.
I might have forgotten to mention. So go for A.salicariifolia as per discussions at Angelonia biflora & Angelonia salicariifolia, until there is more clarity. , Angelonia Species for ID : Asteraceae : Nasik : 22JAN22 : AK – 34: 3 images.
