Requesting to please provide ID of the plant captured at Devgad, Konkan Maharashtra in May 2014.
Was posted on the forum earlier here.
Could this be E. capens var. concanense based on the key provided here

efi page on Eranthemum capense   

Bracts and spike look very different in –

I agree …, the bracts and spikes do look different…. I wonder then, what this could be…

I do not have any idea … Please check the KEY provided by …- efi thread.

Thanks … for the key link…..Using this key, the plant appears to be E. pubescens (Bracts densely pubescent).

Requesting to please ID this shrub captured near Devgad, Maharashtra in May 2014.
Is it some Eranthemum species?

Though not clear yet white mark on bracts can be visible in the first and last pic. This directs to Eranthemum roseum (Vahl) R.Br.

I think … is right, E. roseum, characterized by long (longer than 7 cm) narrower spikes, obovate mucronate bracts mottled green and white.

Doubtful. Somehow the floral arrangement point towards Stachytarpheta sps. But not sure.

I doubt if any species of Stachytarpheta has that large bracts.

Thank you … However, I do not think that the bracts are white, rather they do not seem to have any white…but they are extremely hairy…am attaching a cropped pic of the bracts.
Based on the key provided by you and … (efi thread), could this be E. purpurascens or for that matter, E.capens ?

Looks like Acanthaceae species. Eranthemum roseum ? (दसमुळी ?)

When posted under the Acanthaceae fortnight here, the keys suggested E. pubescens.
Would appreciate expert opinion on whether this is E. pubescens or E. roseum.

Thanks, …, I also think closer to Eranthemum pubescens Roth as per comparative images at Eranthemum

Thank you … for validating.

Konkan, MH :: Eranthemum for ID :: ARK2021-022 : 5 images.
Seen this Eranthemum in a village near coastal Devgad, MH in the last week of December 2020.

Am confused between E. pubescens and E. roseum.
Had earlier posted E. pubescens from the same area.
Requested to please ID.

I guess Eranthemum pubescens looks correct ID according to your earlier post but
CoL has no mention about it but POWO as Unplaced name and GBIF has listed.

I agree as per images and keys at Eranthemum pubescens Roth
