Kuntze; Glechoma erecta Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb.; Glechoma hindostana B.Heyne ex Roth; Glechoma indica Spreng.; Nepeta calaminthoides Benth.; Nepeta clinopodioides Royle ex Benth.; Nepeta ruderalis Buch.-Ham. ex Benth.; Thymus nepetoides D.Don);

Erect or ascending herb with retrorse or spreading hairs, about 2.5 cm long leaves, as broad, small lilac to purplish flowers forming a lax inflorescence..

24042011GS1 Lamiaceae for ID from Morni hills:
growing on rocky ground around Tikkar tal lake in Morni. The plant around 1 m tall is tufted plant with several branches from base; leaves opposite, ovate-elliptic 2-3 cm long with crenate margin. Flowers about 1 cm long, about 5 mm across, mauve coloured in few-flowered axillary clusters.

– I think … also have Nepeta hindostana in their mind for this plant. I was present at the locality of taking this photograph. I agree with .., this can be Nepeta hindostana.

– Adding original description from the Botany of Bihar and Orissa Nepeta hindostana (B.Heyne ex Roth) Haines, Bot. Bihar Orissa 4: 744 (1922).

– I remember it now. When .. first showed me this plant, I immediately said it is I think Nepeta hindostana. Then perhaps I forgot about it while processing the photographs.

small herb for id, mm3 05082012:

Small herb seen on the edge of a field. growing close to the ground.

with very small flowers about 6 to 8 mm.

second week of march

a few kilometers from parwanoo in the foothills of himachal pradesh
would very much appreciate an id

This can be Isodon rugosus…Lamiaceae

I checked on Isodon rugosus, but it looks different to me

This looks to me like Nepeta hindostana and its flowering times also matches

Many thanks for the id

Plant for ID 16/01/2012 SMP 2:
I observed this plant on the walls of Fort Purandar as well as Fort Sinhagad Near Pune Maharashtra. Dec 2011.
A herb. Total height of the plant around 1 foot.
Leaves Elliptic ovate to rhomboid. simple with dentate margin wooly-tomentose.
Flowers in axillary and terminal inflorescence agin very hairy.
Flowers violet and white, petals with design. Size 2-3 mm.

This looks like some Lamiaceae member. Check for Nepeta sp.

fort purandhar seems prolific in hosting good plants!!! 🙂 what else is there?
nice flower colr, I dont know what it is… nepeta? no… is it?

Lamiaceae for sure and Nepeta, as suggested by …, is a possible choice, I guess.
Please try with http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=122138

Could it be Nepeta hindostana?

Thanks for the ID
It is indeed Nepeta hindostana. … has also posted similar plant from Morni area.
I don’t know the habitat of that plant.
Two grossly distinct habitats are mentioned for this species in Flowers of Sahyadri.
Occasional in sandy river and stream beds……..
On stone walls of hill forts in Pune……..
I found this species on stone walls of Purandar as well as Sinhagad Fort.
Just wondering how come different habitats.
Any possibility that sandy soil was taken up from river beds for construction of stone walls of forts during Shivaji Maharaj era and some seeds might have gone there ????

Yes it is. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful pics and instant identification. Nepeta are always difficult for me.
A little correction in name- it is “hindostana” in specific epithet.

Requesting to please provide ID of this Lamiaceae member captured in the Kangra fort near Dharamshala, HP in October 2014.

it looks to me a species of Nepeta

This would be Nepeta but I am not sure of the species, could be erecta, would like to have experts guiding us on this. (I am not a botany/ taxonomy guy but a photographer documenting wild flowers especially since the last 10 yrs, extensively covered the Valley of Flowers and adjoining ranges.).
Hope you all will understand.

Probably Nepeta hindostana …

Wild about 25-30 inch high, leaves simple and opposite, flower about 6-8 mm
pls id

Looks like Hyptis suovolens

Thanks … for confirmation

some time we need more characters to approach to the species
even am not able to see the no. of perfect stamens in flower 2 or 4
closeup piece of calyx

Does not look like Hyptis suaveolens as per images herein.

Pl check for Hyptis mutabilis also. But not sure.

Seems some species of Nepeta.

Thanks … Perhaps Nepeta leucophylla, another of my upload on Flowers of India.

It does not matches with images at Nepeta ciliaris Benth. (syn: Nepeta leucophylla Benth.)

I think it appears to be same species as per … post at ANMAY02/28 Lamiaceae (Incl. Verbenaceae) Fortnight: Please identify this herb (1) of Nepeta hindostana (B.Heyne ex Roth) Haines

Yes it is N. hindostana only. Thanks …

This taxon is really tough to distinguish at species level and careful examination of specimens is required…

I have recorded some pictures from Morni Hills, they all look alike, and quite possibly I may have mingled them.. still on the basis of slight differences I will post them separately..
If possible on the basis of these pics, please suggest id of this Nepeta recorded from Morni Hills..

Nepeta species so far in efi

After perusing comparative images at Nepeta‎, I can not think of any other species other than Nepeta hindostana (B.Heyne ex Roth) Haines
