Lepidagathis incurva Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don, Prodr. Fl. Nepal. 119 1825. (Syn: Lepidagathis hyalina Nees);
Location : Tawizo, Mizoram On perusal of comparative images at Lepidagathis, I think you can check with images at Lepidagathis purpuricaulis Nees it appears from acanthaceae family Lepidagathis incurva, I think.
I had seen this herb at Shigekeri, North Karnataka. Stem prostrate.
Date/Time: 16-01-2011 / 11:40AM
Location: Shigekeri, North Karnataka Habitat: Wild Plant Habit: Herb Leaves Opposite. Family: Acanthaceae
it is not a Haplanthodes species as Haplanthodes has cladodes. this looks like some Justicia species. Lepidagathis incurva Don. To me looks different from other images at Lepidagathis incurvaBuch.-Ham. ex D.Don On further investigation, I found that there are many varieties as per CoL and POWO, found in India. That is why there appears to be a difference in our observations from all over India at Lepidagathis incurva .

Came across this Prostrate herb.
Bot. name: “Lepidagathis incurva“? (Acanthaceae family).
I think ID is possibly correct.
Kalatope id (Dam side) Al041612: An April flower for id….
Location Kalatope Chamba Altitude 1200 mts Habit herb Habitat wild Height 18 inches (approx) Season April This looks close to Lepidagathis incurva…. I had collected this from Morni Hills in Haryana… It is Lepidagathis incurva and in flowering nowdays at Renukaji, Nahan, and also on Morni Hills. please find the images of Lepidagathis incurva taken from Barbara RF, Odisha. It includes some images posted earlier and finally identified after getting the habitat and the leaves during last field visit. Name of the species: Lepidagathis incurva
Family: Acanthaceae
Place of collection:Barbara RF, khurda, Odisha
Habit: Herb
Habitat: Wild. Under the canopy of Moist deciduous forests looks like white mickey mouse ears!!! .
051111PD06 Flora of Orissa for ID: taken this photograph from Deogarh district of Orissa. I am extremely sorry that i don’t have more close up of leaves as the plant was very small as it appears in picture (i took the photograph in a haste as i had to catch the group vehicle). Kindly bear with this. Habit: Herb
habitat: Dry deciduous Sal forest
Place of collection: Deogarh, Orissa
Altitude: 150 m above msl
Plant height: 5 cm In my opinion, this should be any Lepidagathis species. I also think it as Lepidagathis species. i was also thinking of Lepidogathis by observing the flower characters. But unfortunately i don’t have much information and no more close up of habitat and leaves. This may be Lepidagathis incurva var. incurva Many thanks for the ID …. I think you are right. I had doubt between L incurva and L. purpuricaulis.

Further, i do not know if my species is L. incurva at all.

Lepidagathis ¿ incurva ?
Though I have labelled it as Lepidagathis incurva; it does not seem to match the plant at Flowers of India; please validate. As per Haines, Lepidagathis hyalina Nees is a perennial, much branched herb, 1-2 ft high; fl.-fr. from Dec-April; leaves variable; spikes dense, 2-10 together, secund; bracts very dense, 4-farious imbricate; corolla .3 to .35 inch long, upper lip emarginate or two lobed, white with mottled brown palate or upper lip brown…. Thank you very much, …
My feeling – every species must get lot of pictures to its account – from various people, various seasons, various places – whether identified / for ID / validation. That is one of the ways of getting accustomed to variations as well as kill any ambiguities. Yes, …, in addition to that sometimes images from neighbouring countries also help, if available.

Lepidagathis incurva.. I do not know if it can be L. incurva Buch-Ham. Leaves look too hairy, please upload mature leaves at lower region of branches. Well, there are varieties and mollis has hairy leaves both sides, may be some other too. I do not object, it may be L. incurva.

Photographed from Morni hills, perhaps a species of Nepeta. Please help in ID Most probably it is Nepeta bracteata Thanks, … Neither FOP nor WCSP gives range of Nepeta bracteata Benth. in DC. in India.
You mean it to be Nepeta bracteata Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don is a synonym of Pogostemon crassicaulis (Benth.) Press ? Actually it is Nepeta bracteosa and not Pogostemon crassicaulis. But the plant I suspected belongs to Nepeta and not Pogostemon which belongs to different subfamily. To me this is more likely to be Lepidagathis sp. As … suggests… may be in Acanthaceae; Lepidagathis (?). Thanks …, it seems we are reaching somewhere How about Lepidagathis incurva?
Yes, very likely to be Lepidagathis incurva …      SK245DEC16-2016:ID : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5)

It is a common species here, Sir. Thank you Once again. I have shot flowering 2 times in Nepal but I found it flowerless as well as taller, as such could not decide. Yes Sir, I also noted that that leaf-size and inter-node space vary in populations at different sites.
