Ajuga sp. probably A.prviflora.

I agree with your identification

Thank you … I had posted Ajuga parviflora some time ago here (Re: [efloraofindia:217533] Mint family?/ABMAR09). That sample was distinctly more hairy, leaves lighter green with red tips and flowers tinier. The new flower I photographed yesterday was larger, leaves more purplish and less hairy. Therefore, I assumed it was not A. parviflora. I am attaching the earlier pictures here again for reference. Please advise.

I think only two species found in your area are Ajuga parviflora & Ajuga integrifolia (Syn: Ajuga bracteosa Wall. ex Benth. [Illegitimate]) as per Ajuga
Pl. check the keys at Species with description & keys in Flora of Pakistan
FOI pages are at Small-Flowered Bugleweed (Ajuga parviflora) & Bracted Bugleweed (Ajuga integrifolia)

In my opiniion it should be Ajuga bracteosa.

This herb was recorded from under-shade of a tea garden near Darjeeling…
please help to reach specific id of this Ajuga..

This might be Ajuga lobata, as the leaves are unique from other species.

To me it appears close to illustration of Ajuga bracteosa var. bracteosa Wall. ex Benth. rather than that of Ajuga lobata at

It looks like Ajuga parviflora Benth. and this is very common species inside Pine forest (Pinus roxburghii).
It is also known as NEELKANTHI, dorsal surface side of leaves have Purplish-blue colour.

It is Ajuga parviflora.

Looks different from other images at Ajuga parviflora Benth.

I think it is more closer to images at Ajuga integrifolia

I see the possibility of this being Ajuga sp…

Yes, … has pointed to Ajuga which I also support.

Thank you … I will consult my books and report what I find.

A couple more photos of the species from earlier this month. 2 images.

I think closer to images at Ajuga integrifolia Buch.-Ham.

A. integrifolia!
