01/08/2011/YRP/01/Naoroz Estate, Chethalayam, Sultan Bathery, Wayanad.:  I visited … farm on 16-08-2011 and I could see the plant growing there. AWth the live specimen I collected I could identify the plant as Gomphostemma heyneanum Wall. ex Benth. of Lamiaceae family. This species is endemic to the Southern Western Ghats in the evergreen forests. .. farm is a wonderful place which is adjacent to Waynad Wildlife sanctuary with elephants, spotted deer, Malabar giant Squirrel, Hanuman Langur as frequent visitors.
I am attaching 2 close ups of the flowers of the species as well.

This is a different variety. In this specimen, the flowers are lax as seen in the first picture and as Manu identified, it is Gomphostemma heyneanum var. rottleri and the one that were uploaded by .. and myself
is Gomphostemma heyneanum var. heyneanum. But as far as I know this variety has been recorded from further south (Idukki and Thrissur) according to Sasidharan, 2004. Further, the habitat of this variety has been recorded as Moist deciduous and semi evergreen.

---

---

Gomphostemma heyneanum?

---

It looks like Gomphostemma, I heard some one proposed the same for new species!
But not sure.

---

There is a possibility that this herb has been recently introduced from mainland of India because it was not noticed earlier by any botanist in and around Rangat which is a town on Middle Andaman Island.

---

Let us wait till the publication of the new species, G. andamanicum, as intimated by … and see the diagnosis. Then we can arrive at the decision. However, the suggestion by … followed by … seems quite possible. So many plants have been introduced there from mainland through human activities.
