Lamiaceae & Verbenaceae Week: Lamiaceae, Vitex trifolia from Delhi:
Vitex trifolia, photographed from Vikas Puri in Delhi The trifoliate nature of the plant is clearly visible in the third photographs. The foliage of 1st and 2nd photographs are similar. However, the third photograph looks like the different one for me. They are from the same bush. I have seen these plants closely for several months. The plants that are heavily trimmed to make low hedges generally have simple leaves, although some trifoliate leaves may be seen in the lower branches. If an occasional bush is untrimmed for a long time most of the leaves would be trifoliate. A totally untrimmed shrub (almost a scrambler) would have have almost all trifoliate leaves. ,,, Sindhudurg district … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhudurg_district Exact coordinates of the plant in photo can be sought by clicking on photo
and visiting the photopage at my flickr photostream. This instance at 16.215149 N, 73.443225 E …on wikimapia [ http://wikimapia.org/#lat=16.215149h…] great, that means its southern tip of Maharashtra…… I got to know from … in a personal mail some days back about mix-up of Malayalam names in my notes of Vitex trifolia and V. negundo. நொச்சி nocchi = Vitex negundo
Vitex trifolia : Devbagh Karwar: Vitex trifolia : Devbagh Karwar Great, the fruits were convincing, not the leaves, wonder why? That’s correct observation … I had same thoughts initially. I identified it as Vitex immediately on observing the flowers but was hesitant to see the leaves crowded. On careful checking and close observation I found them trifoliate with short petiole. Trees of Lalbagh, Bangalore – RA – Vitex trifolia, L. <=> Three Leaved Chaste Tree: The leaves are oppositely arranged along the stems, simple or trifoliate with 3 linear leaflets which range between 1 -12 cm in length. The upper surface of the leaves are green and the lower surface grayish green.
The flowers are born in panicles or clusters up to 18 cm in length. Individual flowers have purple to violet two-lipped corollas that are approximately 5 mm long. The stamen are in two pairs and the ovary is superior, or develops above the corolla.
