Thelepaepale ixiocephala: Have mentioned that the fort is called Visagadh which is adjacent to Lohagadh and both are actually in Lonavala. Please check this link : … so the hill is really an ancient fort… .
Id 120911 NS1: … Thelepaepale ixiocephala (Benth.) Bremek. (basionym: Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth. OR is it Strobilanthes ixiocephalus ?) I agree with …, this is Thelepaepale ixiocephala (Benth.) Bremek. Last time I have seen this flowering in Kudremukh National Park in September- October 2003. May be the attached paper would be helpful for many of us sorry but its confusing to me,,, ya surely Acanthaceae and some Strobilanthus species, but i do not think Thelepaepale ixiocephala.. i may be wrong or need clear flower photo. i think, … has mixed collection of species and photos of leaves are surely not of Thelepaepale ixiocephala.. i request him to go through his collection of photos once again and name it correctly.. Immense thanks … for pointing to the error in labeling photos of July 25, 2009 as Thelepaepale ixiocephala … will label them appropriately. …, if you can post your photos of Thelepaepale ixiocephala, than it would be of great help.. Have encountered Thelepaepale ixiocephala on at least 2 occasions while on field trips with Dr. Almeida [when he was a lot fitter] who used to refer to this plant as “the small flower with the big name”. At that time unfortunately, we did not have the luxury of digital technology and hence have only pressed specimen[s] as records. Could send photographs of it / them if it would be of any help. For me It seems to be Strobilanthes ixiocephalous. .
Strobilanthes ixiocephalus: .
Strobilanthes ixiocephalus—for sharing and validation : 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5). Affirmative. Now called Thelepaepale ixiocephala. My photographs of this are available at this link : Now the genus Strobilanthus is considered as a single genus rejecting all subdivision by Bremekamp (1944). So the correct name is Strobilanthes ixiocephalus Benth. .

Is it Karvi(Carvia/Strobilanthes) species? – efloraofindia | Google Groups .
Tamil name for Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth.: Please check if name for Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth. can be easily coined.
Coined English name for this species.is sky blue karvy
We have a name: நீலக்குறிஞ்சி neelakurinji for Strobilanthes kunthiana (Nees) T.Anderson ex Benth.
Would a name வானம் நீலக்குறிஞ்சி vaanam neelakurinji sound funny OR would it be alright ?
Please ignore my request if it is cumbersome. OR perhaps vaanam neelam kurinji வானம் நீலம் குறிஞ்சி !! Yes, but a slight variation, “vaana neelakkurinji” வான நீலக்குறிஞ்சி (sky blue karvi) would work.
Another option can be “venneelakkurinji” வெண்நீலக்குறிஞ்சி meaning “bale blue or whitish blue karvi”. Great joy !! Thank you very much for this help.
I would like to go with the compact and easy to call – வெண்நீலக்குறிஞ்சி venneelakkurinji … the pale blue or whitish blue karvi !!!
. Malayalam name for Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth.: Please check if name for Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth. can be easily coined.
Coined English name for this species is sky blue karvy. We have a name: നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി neelakurinji for Strobilanthes kunthiana (Nees) T.Anderson ex Benth. Would a name ആകാശ നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി aaksha neelakurinji make sense as a name ? Please ignore my request if it is cumbersome. OR rather ആകാശനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി aakshaneela kurinji … this could be the correct or perhaps this option is preferred ഇളംനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി ilamneela kurinji meaning pale blue karvi ഇളംനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി ilamneela kurinji is good, but single നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി neelakurinji is fair, നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി neelakurinji = blue karvi, and it is very popular for Strobilanthes kunthiana (Nees) T.Anderson ex Benth. Since Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth.is not exactly blue, but is more of white with tinge of blue, I think we make use of name that means either sky blue karvi OR pale blue.karvi.
Thus if ഇളംനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി ilamneela kurinji is good, we will rather use it.
