Place: On way to Ponta Sahib, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Date: August, 2010.

Boraginaceae week: Heliotropium strigosum for validation:

very nice pictures and depiction of the flowers and leaves of this tinies of the heliotropium …
do you have a picture of it as you first spotted it on the ground… before you picked up to take pics?

I fear I could not do that……no habit pics..

Observed this small herb few cm in height. Flower size few mm.

Is it Heliotropium strigosum?

Heliotropium strigosum Willd. features (Ref. Prain; Haines) –

• 1 to 2 inch long spike
• spikes not conspicuously bracteate in upper part (or with narrow small bracts)
• linear to linear-lanceolate leaves, over 0.5 inch long
• should be similar to efi thread

There is one H. strigosum var. brevifolia
(http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242413358 ?), featuring leaves under 0.5 inch long (ref. BP / Prain, FBI). This species maybe same, as per efi thread

this is Heliotropium strigosum.

Herb for Id-Karnal:
This small herb was shot from a canal bank in District Karnal, looks like a Boraginaceae member. Identification please….

---

I hope Convolvulus prostratus

---

May species of Heliotropium ???

---

I also thought of some Heliotropium sp. but not much aware of similar sp.

---

This is Heliotropium for sure..may be H. strigosum..

---

i agree with …, it is Heliotropium for sure.

---

I think matches with images at Euploca strigosa

Hooghly – Heliotropium strigosum Willd. ? : Attachments (9). 3 posts by 2 authors.
This one recorded on 3-Sept-2013, in front of our school, certainly came with those sands and laterites that gave me many cyperaceae.
If it is Heliotropium strigosum, it is surely not var. brevifolia (as per Bengal Plants).

A small wild herb found in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Flowering in December.

Please identify.

---

Heliotropium …, check with local floras for sp.,

Looks more like Suaeda fruiticosa

---

I have placed my observations of same under Heliotropium supinum…!!

---

That’s it …! That’s my plant. Thanks for the identification!

---

I think I said it too soon. Some images at Digital Flora of Karnataka agree with my plant:

http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ac.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=932&cat=1
However, the leaves of many other images on the web do not agree well. Could that be variability of the species?

---

I think my plant agrees best with Euploca strigosa.
Heliotropium strigosum subsp. brevifolium is a synonym.

---

Yes, Euploca strigosa and H. supinum are sometimes confusing..
I hope we can go with Euploca strigosa …

---

---

Again a Heliotropium sp.

Requesting species ID: Heliotropium 1 (Moyar area, Dry thorn forests, Nigiris: 2 high res. image.
These are from dry thorn forests near Moyar.
Heliotropium species. Please give me the species ID , if possible.

Euploca bracteata (R.Br.) M.W.Frohl. & M.W.Chase ??

Heliotropium bracteatum

New name Euploca bracteata (R. Br.) M. W. Frohl. & M. W. Chase !

I think this is Euploca strigosa (Willd.) Diane & Hilger as per images and details herein.
Looks different from images of Heliotropium bracteatum as per FOI, the only GBIF specimen from India and IBP
