I guess Pogostemon paniculatus (Willd.) Benth.


Very close dear …, but different, my ID 231 is Pogostemon paniculatus,


To me also appears close to images at Pogostemon paniculatus


Yes, the flower is same of my ID 231 but this flower is larger at first sight, then colour, glabrous or hairless glossy thick purple stem, hairless or non velvety leaves, height and habit of the plant, life is perennial etc. are different.
If needed more images, I will provide in my next visit. Only one this kind, very rare. And I am agree with whatever your decision,

I do not find anything similar as per comparative images at Pogostemon.
I still feel it is Pogostemon paniculatus only.

I d please – Thrissur OCT 2022: 2 high res. images.
Please identify this.


I think detailed images are required for proper id.


I think this is some other plant. Will post it in a separate mail.


Or is it from the same plant?


yes sir, both images are of same plant


OK


Scrophularia ??


I think looks different from images at Scrophularia


Maybe .. That was my guess based on the 2nd image !


Pogostemon paniculatus


Yes, appears close as per images at

Malayalam names of Pogostemon paniculatus (Willd.) Benth.:
Please validate the Malayalam names that I found during 2nd compilation of names of Pogostemon paniculatus (Willd.) Benth.

Regards.


Not മനന്പോത, it is മലമ്പോത malampotha (malanpotha is my mistake).
The other one is correct.

Malam means human stool in Malayalam,
Mala മല means hill or alpine. Only Malayalees can understand this pre word related to wild or not 😀

Tamil name for Pogostemon paniculatus (Willd.) Benth.:
Please help me with coining a name for Pogostemon paniculatus (Willd.) Benth.

Tamil name for Pogostemon vestitus Benth. is பச்சுளி patchouli
Reference: Tamil lexicon [Madras], University of Madras
I propose adding a prefix தெற்கு terku describing the species’ major distribution in southern India
Thus the coined name – தெற்கு பச்சுளி terku pacculi for Pogostemon paniculatus (Willd.) Benth.
I have proposed the Tamil name based on lines of names coined for other 3 languages …
 • Hindi: दक्षिणी पचौली dakshini pachouli
• Konkani: दक्षिणी पाचोली dakshini pacholi
• Marathi: दक्षिणी पाचोळी dakshini pacholi

The Tamil name “தெற்கு பச்சுளி” (terku pacchuli) sounds okay. “தெற்கு” (terku) usually refers to the direction South. Whereas, the adjective ‘Southern’ can translate to “தென்” (then), “தென்னக” (thennaga), “தெற்கத்திய” (therkathiya) or “தென்னிந்திய” (thennindiya), or sometimes தெற்கு (terku).
So, in this context, “தெற்கத்தி பச்சுளி” (therkathi pacchuli) or  “தென் பச்சுளி” (then pacchuli) would be more fitting, but if you prefer “தெற்கு பச்சுளி” (terku pacchuli) that would be fine too.
The spelling patchouli can be written in Tamil as பச்சௌலி.


Thank you for elaborating the subtle differences among “தெற்கு” meaning “south” and the other words in Tamil that mean “southern” … which is what is required.
Among the two options: “தெற்கத்தி பச்சுளி” (therkathi pacchuli) or  “தென் பச்சுளி” (then pacchuli) … I will prefer to go with the shorter and easier spoken –  தென் பச்சுளி then pacchuli.
Among பச்சுளி pacchuli and பச்சௌலி patchouli, I will go with the former option – because I found  பச்சுளி listed in Tamil dictionary as well appears in Googled results.
