On perusal of comparative images at Lepidagathis, I think you can check with images at Lepidagathis purpuricaulis Nees


it appears from acanthaceae family


Lepidagathis incurva, I think.

I had seen this herb at Shigekeri, North Karnataka. Stem prostrate.
Date/Time: 16-01-2011 / 11:40AM
Location: Shigekeri, North Karnataka
Habitat: Wild
Plant Habit: Herb
Leaves Opposite.
Family: Acanthaceae

it is not a Haplanthodes species as Haplanthodes has cladodes. this looks like some Justicia species.


Lepidagathis incurva Don.


To me looks different from other images at Lepidagathis incurvaBuch.-Ham. ex D.Don


On further investigation, I found that there are many varieties as per CoL and POWO, found in India. That is why there appears to be a difference in our observations from all over India at Lepidagathis incurva
As per Flora of Peninsular India, in addition to type variety, Lepidagathis incurva var. lophostachyoides and Lepidagathis incurva var. mucronata are also reported. I think it appears close to specimen at Lepidagathis incurva var. mucronata

This looks close to Lepidagathis incurva…. I had collected this from Morni Hills in Haryana…


It is Lepidagathis incurva and in flowering nowdays at Renukaji, Nahan, and also on Morni Hills.

please find the images of Lepidagathis incurva taken from Barbara RF, Odisha. It includes some images posted earlier and finally identified after getting the habitat and the leaves during last field visit.

Name of the species: Lepidagathis incurva
Family: Acanthaceae
Place of collection:Barbara RF, khurda, Odisha
Habit: Herb
Habitat: Wild. Under the canopy of Moist deciduous forests

looks like white mickey mouse ears!!!


.

051111PD06 Flora of Orissa for ID: taken this photograph from Deogarh district of Orissa. I am extremely sorry that i don’t have more close up of leaves as the plant was very small as it appears in picture (i took the photograph in a haste as i had to catch the group vehicle). Kindly bear with this.

Habit: Herb
habitat: Dry deciduous Sal forest
Place of collection: Deogarh, Orissa
Altitude: 150 m above msl
Plant height: 5 cm

In my opinion, this should be any Lepidagathis species.


I also think it as Lepidagathis species.
Do you have any other habitat and full plant pictures?


i was also thinking of Lepidogathis by observing the flower characters. But unfortunately i don’t have much information and no more close up of habitat and leaves.


This may be Lepidagathis incurva var. incurva


Many thanks for the ID …. I think you are right. I had doubt between L incurva and L. purpuricaulis.

Bengal Plants” describes five Lepidagathis species of which L. hyalina (L. incurva) covers two varieties.
Flora of British India” describes more varieties of L. hyalina Nees.
I do not know if my species is any of those varieties of L. hyalina Nees (L. incurva Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don.).
Further, i do not know if my species is L. incurva at all.

Attaching two more new pictures of almost similar looking plant found 3 km away from the plant in this thread.


This is Lepidagathis incurva of Acanthaceae

Thanks for supporting my possible id.
… has identified a similar looking Lepidagathis from Uttarakhand on flowersofindia.
Hope he is able to help with my id.

Yes, I am corrected..this is Lepidagathis incurva….thanks …


Thanks … Actually pictures are not very good.
The forest was dense and the smaller plants below had very little light making it difficult to photograph in proper light, without flash.

Thank you, the flower not clear to me.


it looks as Lepidagathis species. It is suggested to post photos of larger branch along with close ups of flower, which can give the arrangement of leaves and other details. It will give better clue to people who try to identify it.

Lepidagathis ¿ incurva ?

Though I have labelled it as Lepidagathis incurva; it does not seem to match the plant at Flowers of India; please validate.
at Anshi on February 21, 2012
along KSH34 near Anshi on (same day) February 21, 2012posted earlier – DVFEB35/68


As per Haines, Lepidagathis hyalina Nees is a perennial, much branched herb, 1-2 ft high; fl.-fr. from Dec-April; leaves variable; spikes dense, 2-10 together, secund; bracts very dense, 4-farious imbricate; corolla .3 to .35 inch long, upper lip emarginate or two lobed, white with mottled brown palate or upper lip brown….
I have noticed difference in the flowers uploaded, in our dbase, from Eastern India and Southern India. FBI has several var. under the epithet L. hyalina Nees. I do not know if any particular variety has received separate identity in later days. Till I find further and recent literature on Indian Lepidagathis
I agree with your ID, …


Thank you very much, …
My feeling – every species must get lot of pictures to its account – from various people, various seasons, various places – whether identified / for ID / validation. That is one of the ways of getting accustomed to variations as well as kill any ambiguities.

Yes, …, in addition to that sometimes images from neighbouring countries also help, if available.

Please validate/correct the id..
Lepidagathis incurva..

I do not know if it can be L. incurva Buch-Ham. Leaves look too hairy, please upload mature leaves at lower region of branches.


Well, there are varieties and mollis has hairy leaves both sides, may be some other too. I do not object, it may be L. incurva.

Photographed from Morni hills, perhaps a species of Nepeta. Please help in ID

Most probably it is Nepeta bracteata


Thanks, … Neither FOP nor WCSP gives range of Nepeta bracteata Benth. in DC. in India.
You mean it to be Nepeta bracteata Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don is a synonym of Pogostemon crassicaulis (Benth.) Press ?

Actually it is Nepeta bracteosa and not Pogostemon crassicaulis. But the plant I suspected belongs to Nepeta and not Pogostemon which belongs to  different subfamily.


To me this is more likely to be Lepidagathis sp.


As … suggests… may be in Acanthaceae; Lepidagathis (?).
The plant seems woody, Nepetas are often quite herbaceous with loose inflorescences.
Experts may enlighten!


Thanks …, it seems we are reaching somewhere

How about Lepidagathis incurva?

Yes, very likely to be Lepidagathis incurva …

It is a common species here, Sir.


Thank you Once again. I have shot flowering 2 times in Nepal but I found it flowerless as well as taller, as such could not decide.


Yes Sir, I also noted that that leaf-size and inter-node space vary in populations at different sites.

Pl. check Lepidagathis purpuricaulis Nees and Lepidagathis incurva Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don as per comparative images at Lepidagathis

Please keep under incuva …, From Kerala 3 new species are published. We need to check that also.
The area is very shady so the number of flowers less.
