Unid TQ-Manipur-02: A herb from Manipur. Found flowering in November. Not much other information available.
An unconfirmed local name suggested a Pogostemon species, but I doubt that.
Identify please.

Looks like some Salvia sp. How about S. nubicola?

Not Salvia nubicola, not even Salvia I think

Salvia nubicola is found above 2100 m. Manipur is only about 800 m.

The plant is not Salvia nubicola. I am sure that the plant is (Microtoena patchoulii Clarke ex Hook.) Wu & Hsuan
