Stemodia viscosa


I thought … is correct,


And it is Black Buck Sanctuary/National park. There is a single lane asphalt road traversing it open for all, for use of rural folk. Big tracts of long grasses interspersed with bushes of Prosopis juliflora. Small deers … Black Buck …can be seen foraging in groups of 15-20.

I had a chance to traverse that area last December.


its supposed to be strongly aromatic. was it? did you crush some leaves? seems you cut the plant and set it up on car leather or bike seat ? so did you smell the scent?


Aromatic ? Never experienced !! Shall try tomorrow morning !


Academia
paper from sayajirao univ

so it will smell like:
I quote: “Sticky Bluerod (Stemodia viscosa) contains terpenoids such as caryophyllene (pepper-like scent in rosemary), fenchol (found in basil) and limonene.” end quote
from https://wildlife.lowecol.com.au/blog/plant-scent-whats-that-smell/

Kancheepuram district of TN, 80km south of Chennai- 03/11/2009; Please help to identify this plant – indiantreepix | Google Groups


/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/as-b.JPG

Pls help ID Herb AS-2011-Mar-4:
This herb was found
in outskirts of Chennai, small about 30 cm high,
somewhat  erect but with weak soft quadrangular stem.
Flowering in February.

   Because of the dentate leaf margin I thought it was some Strobilanthes, but all species seem much taller and also the flowers here are in a sparse spike
I  would like to know the ID and how it is distinguished.


–  Your plant is Stemodia viscosa Roxb. of Scrophulariaceae. Did you collected the herb near any moist locality?

   Please see my earlier posting of the same plant collected near Chennai.
https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/b5…


– it is the same plant as in your post.
Collection was also similar locality, near paddy fileds, kanchipuram dstt
   Indeed a confusion with “Harebell” can be there because of the delicacy and colour of the petals, but  the corolla is not symmetric all around and the leaves are very different.
