Ajuga parviflora Benth., Pl. Asiat. Rar. 1: 59 1830. (Syn: Ajuga depressa Maxim.; Bulga parviflora (Benth.) Kuntze);
.
E. Afghanistan to C. Himalaya as per WCSP;
.
Densely villous plant with much smaller leaves, scarcely exceeding 4 cm, much smaller flowers usually smaller than 8 mm in length. There are no specially coloured floral leaves, the floral clusters occurring in axils of normal leaves, corolla tube slightly longer than calyx, stamens or mostly included.
.
Perhaps another plant which is not correctly represented at FOI website, where it (or closely similar plant) is displayed as Ajuga lupulina. It must be noted that A. lupulina is a much different plant with coloured (white, yellow or greenish-purple) much larger floral leaves (3.5-5 cm long) that often hide the flowers and flowers are much larger (2-2.5 cm) white with purple veins. It also has much larger leaves (5-11 cm long)

There are no specially coloured floral leaves, the floral clusters occurring in axils of normal leaves, corolla tube slightly longer than calyx, stamens or mostly included.
The plant was photographed from open slopes of Morni hills on April 9, 2011. <http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=88764&flora_id=800>
I am also attaching my photographs from the same locality. Attachments (3)    Lamiaceae & Verbenaceae Week: Lamiaceae, Ajuba parviflora from Morni hills:

Mint family?/ABMAR09 : 4 posts by 2 authors. 1 image. And this one even closer home at the base of an Oak. Looks like it belongs to the mint family.
Lavandula gibsonii perhaps?

6 March 2015 Lamiaceae okay, but this is likely to be Ajuga parviflora.. Thank you … It does look like Ajuga parviflora.    … had helped identify this plant as Ajuga parviflora or Small-flowered Bugleweed. Today I picked up a sample to investigate closely and to share the results with you.

The plant was photographed from open slopes of Morni hills on April 9, 2011. Very nice close ups.
What leaf? : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1). Unidentified

About 1700mLarger leaves can grow to be around 6-7 inches
I think this is early to say anything… if I am to guess now, ….this may turn out to be Ajuga sp.   Thank you … Even with this start I am unable to advance in my research. I photographed the plant again this morning with a close up. I am attaching them here to see if it makes it any clearer. The top surface is slightly rough to touch, a little like a dog’s tongue.

I found these in flower and collected some more evidence. It is almost certain to be a Ajuga species but doesn’t match either A. integrifolia or A. parviflora. The whole plant is sessile and has no vertical growth to speak of. Please advise. 27-28 January 2017

3 images. Ajuga so. according to me.. A.parviflora Thank you to … All the plants I have come across on the slopes here are sessile without any stalks to speak of. Like parviflora, the leaves are purple underneath and the stamens do not protrude from the petals but there is no vertical growth of the plant and the flowers are difficult to even see between the leaves. Perhaps it is a local variation of A. parviflora.
Lamiaceae (Incl. Verbenaceae) Fortnight: Ajuga parviflora from Chakrata- NS May 01/01 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3). I think yes. Very similar to mine from Morni.
Family: Lamiaceae Place: Renukaji-Haripurdhar route, Himachal Pradesh Ajuga species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) Ajuga parviflora I hope Thank you very much sir.
Lamiaceae herb ? SN 16April 01 : 9 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1) Thanks, … May I request you to pl. also send a close up by cropping your image. Pl find the cropped image. Attachments (1) Ajuga species to me. Ajuga species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) Though I cannot be certain, it looks very similar to Ajuga parviflora found here in upper Dharamshala in abundance. http://www.iiim.res.in/herbarium/ajuga_parviflora.jpg Family: Lamiaceae Place: Renukaji-Haripurdhar route, Himachal Pradesh Ajuga species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) Ajuga bracteosa I hope I think, Ajuga parviflora. efi pages on Ajuga integrifolia (syn: Ajuga bracteosa Wall. ex Benth. [Illegitimate]) & Ajuga parviflora I also consider it Ajuga bracteosa I think more closer to images at Ajuga parviflora Benth. Flowers and congested clusters suggest A. parviflora only. . Ajuga parviflora from Baijnath, Uttarakhand-GS14032022-1: 6 very high res. images.
