Thanks a lot for the Tamil name in tamil script. Without Tamil script it is meaningless and readed wrongly in English(arrumelalaki). Tamil: ஆற்றுமேலழகி arrumelalaki
It means Beautiful women over river. Unfortunately English does not have letter for consonant ‘ழ’. Indian languages also does not have ‘ழ’ except Malayalam(Any way it is closely related with Tamil). Even ‘Tamil’ (தமிழ்) word has ‘ழ’ at 3rd position after removing a vowel. Thanks … Thanks for meaning of the descriptive name. update … • Kachchhi: અડબાઉ મૂરી adbau muri . Gujarati name(s) of Verbascum chinense : 5 posts by 3 authors. Please help with Gujarati name(s) of Verbascum chinense in native script.
I found kalhar, kolhala, kutki listed in Biological Diversity of Gujarat [PDF]
kolhala could be rather કુલાહલ kulahal – એક જાતનું વૃક્ષ – entry found in Gujarati Lexicon
kutki must be કુટકી kutki – this name is used in Marathi too.
Sorry for not being able to reply earlier. In Gujarati, this plant is known by two variants of the same name – કલાર and કલહાર. In Kachchhi, it is known as અડબાઉ મૂરી. Thank you very very much … Will update the Kachchi name to names’ database soon.

Mahabaleshwar, MH :: Verbascum chinense :: ARK2020-077 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)- around 650 kb each. Catalogue of life gives Verbascum chinense (L.) Santapau as a syn. of Verbascum coromandelianum subsp. sinense (L.) D. Mc Kean with distribution as China (Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan), Pakistan (Sind, Pakistani Punjab, Rawalpindi, N.W.Frontier Prov., Peshawar), Jammu & Kashmir (Kashmir).
POWO gives Verbascum chinense (L.) Santapau with native range is Afghanistan to S. China and Indo-China (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China South-Central, China Southeast, India, Laos, Thailand, West Himalaya)
POWO also gives Verbascum coromandelianum subsp. sinense with native to China South-Central.
Catalogue of life also gives Verbascum coromandelianum subsp. coromandelianum with distribution as Afghanistan (Kandahar), ?Pakistan, India, Myanmar [Burma] (Ayeyarwady, Bago, Mandalay, Yangon), NE-Thailand, Sri Lanka, Laos, Cambodia, India, Bangladesh.
POWO gives Verbascum coromandelianum with native range is E. & SE. Afghanistan to Myanmar (Afghanistan, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka). We have mainly only two species in India as per details at Verbascum
(V. chinense and V.thapsus)
Can anybody help in clearing this confusion? What should be the status of our V.chinense? Flora of China mentions Verbascum chinense (Linnaeus) Santapau (syn: Scrophularia chinensis Linnaeus; Celsia coromandeliana Vahl; Verbascum coromandelianum (Vahl) Kuntze; V. sinense H. Léveillé & Giraud).
I could not find any clue on searching the net
there are many such problems with closely related species on different databases. Therefore, I consult only POWO at present. POWO is not the ultimate solution. Catalogue of Life is far ahead in many families, particularly those which are not there in WCSP from Kew. You are right, … But the confusion arises when one data base considers some species as accepted and the other as a synonym of some other name. Flora of China mentions Verbascum chinense (Linnaeus) Santapau (syn: Verbascum coromandelianum (Vahl) Kuntze), while POWO reports both of them (Verbascum chinense (Linnaeus) Santapau & Verbascum coromandelianum (Vahl) Kuntze)) as independent species.
We do not know the difference between the two. Verbascum chinense is what was described in Flora of British India as Celsia coromandelianum Differences are so obvious
V. thapsus: stamens 5, basal leaves not divided, cauline strongly decurrent, densely woolly
V. chinensis: stamens 4, basal leaves lyrate-pinnatifid, cauline not decurrent, not densely woolly.
The species are well represented on Flowers of India I am asking for the difference between Verbascum chinense (Linnaeus) Santapau & Verbascum coromandelianum (Vahl) Kuntze.
Flora of China mentions Verbascum chinense (Linnaeus) Santapau (syn: Verbascum coromandelianum (Vahl) Kuntze), while POWO reports both of them (Verbascum chinense (Linnaeus) Santapau & Verbascum coromandelianum (Vahl) Kuntze)) as independent species. Verbascum coromandelianum (Vahl) Kuntze as understood as distinct species is described in FBI as V. celsioides Benth. It will have 5 stamens but sometimes 4 (hence confusion), lower leaves are pinnatisect , 4-6 inch long (lyrate-pinnatifid, 2-4 inch long in chinense), pedicels 12-20 mm long (only 4-8 mm long in Chinense), filaments woolly (hairy in chinense)
All three are described in FBI, we can always find from there. Thanks a lot, … I will look at our observations based on this. Here is the description from FBI as per IBIS Flora:
