Cilannipattam (Mal & Tam); Pratanika (Sanskrit);

As per efi thread :

In O. pallidus the white flower-tube is almost as long as the calyx, whereas in O. rubicundus the white flower-tube is twice as long as the calyx.

As per efi thread:

In Orthosiphon pallidus, the corolla is as long as the calyx. The differentiating point between thymiflorous and rubicundus is leaf morphology. In rubicundus the leaf has very short petiole-up to 4mm or the leaf is almost sessile, and in thymiflorous petiole is longer-about 1 to 3cm;

Some ocimum Species.

It is Orthosiphon pallidus locally called Jyoti.

just check with Orthosiphon thymiflorus ( Roth.) Van der Sleesen in Reinwardtia 5: 42, 1959; Singh et al, Fl. Mah. St. 2: 745, 2001; Almeida, Fl. Mah. 4: 172, 2003; Pradhan et al, Fl. SGNP 515, 2005.

Actually I think it is Orthosiphon pallidum var. glabrum.

I think it’s Orthosiphon rubicundus as per earlier thread: efi thread

I agree with you that it is not Orthosiphon pallidus, as the corolla is twice as long as the calyx.
The differentiating point between thymiflorous and rubicundus is leaf morphology. In rubicundus the leaf has very short petiole-up to 4mm or the leaf is almost sessile, and in thymiflorous petiole is longer-about 1 to 3cm.
In the photographs posted by me long petiole is distinctly seen. So I think it is Orthosiphon thymiflorous.
I am posting now photographs of a herb which I think is orthosiphon rubicundus, as the corolla is twice as long as the calyx & the leaves are almost sessile. The photograph is taken near Kaas plateau-Satara Maharashtra , on 12-9-09.

If … contention is correct, then species in the
earlier thread should also be Orthosiphon thymiflorous & not Orthosiphon rubicundus: efi thread

Is the photo in FOI site (http://www.flowersofindia.net/) is Orthosiphon thymiflorous or Orthosiphon rubicundus in view of discussion in this thread & in view of the views in this from … as above?

Plz id this shrub / herb: pa5 – 25oct2012: Checked my photographs and Dr. Almeida’s ‘Flora of Maharashtra’. My apologies. This is not Orthosiphon pallidus but O.thymiflorus. Sending my photographs.

I forgot to inform that I got a private reply from … on the 25th oct. and he too identified it as
Orthosiphon thymiflorus. Thank you again.

Captured this Orthosiphon rubicundus in SGNP, Mumbai in July 2013.
Could you please confirm the ID?

efi page on Orthosiphon rubicundus

Agree.

I think it is Plectranthus ?

Is it not Orthosiphon thymiflorus as per keys available therein. (The differentiating point between thymiflorous and rubicundus is leaf morphology. In rubicundus the leaf has very short petiole-up to 4mm or the leaf is almost sessile, and in thymiflorous petiole is longer-about 1 to 3cm😉

As no further feedback, I am taking it as Orthosiphon thymiflorus.

Thank you … for the follow up…
Also, I note that this is Orthosiphon thymiflorus and not Orthosiphon rubicundus…

I stand corrected, it’s Orthosiphon thymiflorus.

Please identify the plant.
This is a perennial herb reaching 1m height.
I think this might be a member of the genus Orthosiphon.

Orthosiphon labiatus I hope !!

… me too think it to be species of Orthosiphon … have seen O. rubicundus in Western Ghats (vicinity of Mumbai and Thane).
Cannot ascertain species.

I think it should be Orthosiphon thymiflorus (Roth) Sleesen
