Collected from Saladi, kathgodam, uttarakhand found on dry slopes, herb with blue flower.


– … looks like Hemigraphis latebrosa  with a will to grow and survive in the given habitat.


– Flora Pakistan mentions Hemigraphis latebrosa var. rupestris Clarke in hilly area with more dense pubescence and more rigid stems. Surely mine plant is same !!

Hemigraphis latebrosa – Flora of Madhya Pradesh:
Hemigraphis latebrosa (Acanthaceae ) photographed at Jungle near Betul, MP. Plants were coated with thick dust just d stark blue flowers were visible.
Dated- 15 th Dec 11.
Features-
Height of herb- abt 15 cms.
Leaves were ovate , toothed
Flowers were tubular n tiny.


It is important part of Traditional Healing in Baitul region. Few years back Traditional Healer from Baitul visited to me with serious patient of cancer. He was using Hemigraphis based formulations but not getting the desirable effects. Someone from Forest department informed him about my work on cancer herbs. We discussed a lot on its different aspects and based on it he added more ingredients in his formulation.
It is not in trade from Baitul but collected by the Traditional experts.


Interesting information …  Mine are also currently flowering. My previous photographs are available at this link

Seen these very tiny flowers growing wild in Uttarakhand.
Pictures taken on 23rd & 24th of March,13.
Kindly confirm id.


I think first two photographs belong to a different plant, I think Member of Boraginaceae, perhaps Echium
Last one appears Acanthaceae member


I thought them to be the same plant, hence posted them together.
We were shown the above in SGNP, Mumbai during TAW last year.

Attaching photographs of the same plant which has been posted by …, was on the TAW alongwith her.
Were told that this is ‘Morpankhi’.
Hope the pics with leaves will help identification

I think all the pics posted by … belong to same plant.. id seems to be right.. Hemigraphis latebrosa..
