Scrophulariaceae Fortnight: Herb for id from Chakrata-NS 55 : Attachments (6). 5 posts by 3 authors.
This tiny herb was shot from Chakrata region this week (14.8.13) ..
I hope this belongs to this episode.. please help to id..


Beautiful photographs of Phryma leptostachya (Phrymaceae).


Thanks, …
But taxonomy seems quite confusing:
The Plant List (2010) gives two accepted names:
1. Phryma leptostachya L. (with record 153193 showing distribution as Temperate Asia & Temp. N.America) Phryma leptostachya var. leptostachya )
2. Phryma leptostachya var. oblongifolia (Koidz.) Honda (with record 153196 showing distribution as Temperate Asia)
However Flora of Pakistan & Annotated checklist of the flowering plants of Nepal only mention Phryma leptostachya L.
However, as per GRIN (2004), only Phryma leptostachya L. var. oblongifolia (Koidz.) Honda have range in Indian Subcontinent) & Phryma leptostachya L. var. leptostachya does not have any range here.
Does that mean that our species is Phryma leptostachya L. var. oblongifolia (Koidz.) Honda ?
Pl. clarify in view of confusing details.

Yes the species from Uttarakhand belongs to P.leptostachya var. oblongifolia.

Please help in the ID of the plant species.
Picture taken at Kashmir University Botanical Garden 

In my opinion, see in Acanthaceae


Acanthaceae is already known.


How about Aloysia citriodora? Verbenaceae

I think Phryma leptostachya… We got this from Chakrata, … had identified…!!


Yes, correctly mentioned by … It is Phryma leptostachya L (Phrymaceae).

Small herb from Kashmir University Campus, photographed on July 11, 2013. Pl. help with ID.

Identified Phryma leptostachya from Facebook Plant identification Group.

Checked with eFlora of China and found that our plant is, however,  subsp. asiatica (H. Hara) Kitamura, which differs from  American type in bilobed upper lip of corolla, longer calyx tube (2.5-3.2 mm), adaxial calyx teeth shorter than tube (1.2-2.3 mm long).


Phryma oblongifolia as per details herein.

seems to be


Only Phryma leptostachya var. oblongifolia L. is mentioned in Annotated checklist of the flowering plants of Nepal  


There are two, both of them …!
Phryma

No. As they have not provided any details under Phryma leptostachya L., they have only one variety given as Phryma leptostachya var. oblongifolia L.
If they had both varieties, they would have also mentioned Phryma leptostachya var. leptostachya like other variety mentioned by them.
This is how Checklist of Nepal had made its observations in this site, as I see it regularly.

There seems to be some confusion/ updation in its nomenclature:
WCSP gives as below:
Phryma oblongifolia Koidz., Bot. Mag. (Tokyo) 43: 400 (1929).- Distribution: Temp. Asia to Vietnam (including Nepal)
Phryma nana Koidz., Acta Phytotax. Geobot. 8: 191 (1939). Distribution: Japan.
So our plant should be Phryma oblongifolia Koidz.
Catalogue of life lumps these two along with others at Phryma leptostachya L.

Some more links …!

Phryma leptostachya var. oblongifolia L.: 5 very high res. images.

Location: Dailekh, West Nepal
Altitude:  1936m.
Date: 12 August 2021
Habit : Wild 

Phryma oblongifolia Koidz. according to POWO
Phryma leptostachya var. asiatica Hara according to COL
Phryma leptostachya var. oblongifolia (Koidz.) Honda according to WFO
… it is high time we decide which database we follow for nomenclature and display it prominently in our Introductory page. My choice has been is still POWO, oldest and and backed up by a strong team of taxonomists.


I agree with …!

Some species these sites give completely different information,
however, CoL is more reliable?? Now, GBIF and CoL gives accepted as
Phryma leptostachya var. asiatica Hara  !
