Lepidagathis scariosa Nees, Pl. Asiat. Rar. (Wallich). iii. 95. Wallich . (Syn: Lepidagathis terminalis Nees);
Please validate this Acanthaceae herb. Locally abundant in the plains of eastern ghats. Date: 05 Dec 2009 it is Lepidagathis, probably L. scariosa. Nice pictures! From where did u collect this? Sathyamangalam R.F.? It would be useful to the members if you could mention the exact locality, instead of saying larger areas like ‘plains of eastern ghats’. I have not seen this in the northern parts of eastern ghats in TN. Much thanks for the id sir. Yes I make sure to mention the locality hereafter. This herb is found in the scrub jungles near Bhavani sagar Dam.
ID please: I am enclosing a plant collected from Tamil Nadu for Id Species of Lepidagathis? Yes …, it looks like Lepidagathis scariosa to me too.
