Boraginaceae week: Heliotropium strigosum for validation:

This one was shot from a canal bank in Karnal, and again from Tau Devilal Herbal Park, Yamunanagar (Haryana) on different occasions. Was posted earlier, id could not be concluded.
Very small, prostrate herb, leaves oblong-lanceolate, hairy, flowers very small, white.. fruit could not be seen.
I hope this should be Heliotropium strigosum.
Request to validate/rectify the identification….

Heliotropium strigosum for confirmation SMP Jun 02 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2)
Observed this small herb few cm in height. Flower size few mm.

Is it Heliotropium strigosum?


Heliotropium strigosum Willd. features (Ref. Prain; Haines) –

  • 1 to 2 inch long spike
  • spikes not conspicuously bracteate in upper part (or with narrow small bracts)
  • linear to linear-lanceolate leaves, over 0.5 inch long
  • should be similar to efi thread
There is one H. strigosum var. brevifolia
(http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242413358 ?), featuring leaves under 0.5 inch long (ref. BP / Prain, FBI). This species maybe same, as per efi thread

this is Heliotropium strigosum.

Herb for Id-Karnal:
This small herb was shot from a canal bank in District Karnal, looks like a Boraginaceae member. Identification please….


I hope Convolvulus prostratus


May species of Heliotropium ???


I also thought of some Heliotropium sp. but not much aware of similar sp.


This is Heliotropium for sure..may be H. strigosum..


i agree with …, it is Heliotropium for sure.


I think matches with images at Euploca strigosa

This one recorded on 3-Sept-2013, in front of our school, certainly came with those sands and laterites that gave me many cyperaceae.
If it is Heliotropium strigosum, it is surely not var. brevifolia (as per Bengal Plants).

A small wild herb found in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Flowering in December.
Please identify.

Heliotropium …, check with local floras for sp.,


Looks more like Suaeda fruiticosa


Thanks …,
Suaeda fruiticosa does look similar in appearance. However, I can see important differences. The leaves of my plant don’t look succulent. Also, they are quite hairy. Compare the attached composite image. Left one is my plant, and the right one is Suaeda fruiticosa from Flora of Israel Online website.

I have placed my observations of same under Heliotropium supinum…!!


That’s it …! That’s my plant. Thanks for the identification!


I think I said it too soon. Some images at Digital Flora of Karnataka agree with my plant:
http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ac.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=932&cat=1
However, the leaves of many other images on the web do not agree well. Could that be variability of the species?

I think my plant agrees best with Euploca strigosa.
Heliotropium strigosum subsp. brevifolium is a synonym.

Yes, Euploca strigosa and H. supinum are sometimes confusing..
I hope we can go with Euploca strigosa
