An occasional flowering plant can be observed in any Sep though but rarely. An occasional plant may show white coloured flowers. .
In Mackenziea integrifolia leaves margin is entire as in this (Strobilanthes callosus) it is minutely serrulate. In Mackenziea leaves apex is long acuminate but in this short acuminate.

Herb ID request – RK87 – 8-Jan-2013: This is Strobilanthes callosus Nees.
Strobilanthes callosus: Synonyms: Carvia callosa
Vernacular name: Karvy
Family: Acanthaceae Location : Pune, MH_Oct 2012 Is it the species will flower once in 19 years? Strobilanthes callosus appears to be the new/latest/unresolved name of the species on The Plant List we used to call Carvia callosa earlier. Flowering of Karvy happen after 7 yrs !! I think the species with 17 year flowering cycle is Strobilanthes kunthianus called Kurinji. Though large scale flowering occurs cyclic we see some plants in flower every year. Had gone to Yercaud to see this sight in the nineties when I lived at Coimbatore. Lovely with less crowd than these days At present all the 64/68 previously described genera by Bremekamp are merged into one genus Strobilanthes. This plietesial/monocarpic genus is very interesting. We have 30 species in our living collection at Tropical Botanic Garden. Carvia callosa? lost from our collection. Strobilanthes kunthianus is having a 12 year flowering cycle. Where as S. lawsonii is telling to having 17 years flowering cycle by Gamble ? But Strobilanthes dupeni Bedd ex Clarke is having 17 years flowering cyle. I have a few plants which flowered in 1995 and the seedling again flowered in 2012 at our garden, so the flowering cycle of S. dupeni is 17 years.
Sinhagad, Aug 2014 :: Requesting ID of this plant :: 07AUG14 :: ARK-03: 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4). This is Karvi [Carvia callosa].
Strobilanthes callosa is the new name? Negative. It is still called Carvia callosa – the Common Conehead. Sending a few photographs.
Attachments (5) Dr.Almeida in his ‘Flora of Maharashtra’ Vol-4A; pg.23, refers to it as Carvia callosa. Strobilanthes callosus is listed as a synomym. Bremekempia [pgs 20 – 22] is considered as a separate Genus. You are right, it is now known as Strobilanthes callosus Nees following the earlier taxonomic concept of treating Strobilanthes as a single genus. Bremekamp had a narrow generic concept of treating Strobilanthes into several genera and currently his concept has been rejected. According to Bremekamp, the true Strobilanthes was not occurring in India then.

Plant size about 3-4 feet, fully tomentose. Flowers have velvety fell and readily secrete a mucilageous jelly like substance on hand, which smells like scented turpentine.

Your help in iding this plant. date/time:oct15
location:aambyvalley rd.,lonavala,pune
habitat:wild
plant habit:shrub?
height:more than 5-6 ft. Pl. check comparative images of Strobilanthes species in efi This, I believe is common karvi, Strobilanthes callosus. For some reason, some plants may have borne white flowers. A good record, This is not common but I have frequently noticed and recorded images of this white variety of Karvi in numerous locations in the past. It’s very refreshing to suddenly come upon this unusual bloom amongst vast patches of Karvi blooms in the Sahyadris. Thanks … for the Id though it looks strange.
