Pogostemon benghalensis (Burm.f.) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 2: 529 1891. (syn. Mentha integra Buch.-Ham. ex Benth.; Origanum benghalense Burm.f.; Origanum indicum Roth; Pogostemon frutescens J.Graham; Pogostemon indicus (Roth) Kuntze; Pogostemon purpuricaulis Dalzell; Pogostemon plectranthoides Desf. as per efi thread)

Of course, some authors treat this as P. benghalensis (=syn. P. plectranthoides) In my personal opinion, after studying nearly 1000 specimens throughout India, it is better to treat it in former species as no clearcut difference could be drawn for both the species.

Plant for ID : 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5). This plant is photographed in Kanha National Park where it has proved itself a very powerful weed by taking over most of the small grass lands between the forests and undergrowth in Sal forests.
It is an unpalatable plant for wildlife there.

Attached are pictures of Pogostemon benghalensis captured at Velas in March 2014.
Was posted on the forum earlier and identified. Family: Lamiaceae For me this is Pogostemon benghalensis .. Pogostemon plectranthoides– Kali Basuti. It is Pogostemon benghalensis (Burm. f.) Kuntze, and treated Pogostemon plectranthoides Desf. as synonym of the former in my works. But some authors treat them as separate species. P. benghalensis is highly variable with regard to leaf margin, verticillasters density and type of indumentum, it is better to treat them as one species.

. Pogostemon benghalensis : 3 posts by 2 authors. That is an interesting point you raised. … picture of Pogostemon benghalensis on FOI was taken on 31st January in Maharashtra. So December doesn’t look all that wrong, which was taken from Ingalhalikar’s Flowers of Sahyadri. The second image by Girija was taken in Mussoorie on 1st March. Maybe the flowering times in Western Ghats and the Himalayan foothills are somewhat different.
