Solenostemon scutellarioides they have a huge number of variety based on the leaf colour combination.


This one looks like Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R.Br. (syn: Coleus blumei)


Coleus… all are now plectranthus
the medicinal plectranthus are aromatic with or without crushing the leaf…
where as… the colorful coleuses of the garden trade are not…(unless you count the chlorophyll smell) 🙂 …)
but in gardening and plant care books, … you will still find them under coleus….

This is very widely used indoor plant, also in hanging baskets..
attractive more by its variegated leaves than by flowers..

Cultivar.


Lamiaceae ?


I guess it is some Lamiaceae


Based on flower character it is a Lamiaceae member, but I am afraid from this photo(s) it is difficult to say the genus name even.


It is Plectranthus scutellarioides Cultivar, previously known as Coleus blumei.


Thank you … for the ID.

Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R.Br. ??

Yes, appears to be some cultivar of Plectranthus scutellarioides


.


Seen in the garden during my visit in October, 2018.


Coleus hybrid ??


Even I thought it to be Coleus.
But recently I came across Perilla frutescens, which I was not aware earlier.
So now I am confused between Perilla frutescens and Solenostemon scutellarioides.
That’s the reason I posted this plant to clear my confusion.

Not Perilla at least!


Then it could be ColeusSolenostemon scutellarioides


May Be!
