need help with Identification … looks like species of Leucas (family: Lamiaceae) thank u … I never knew there were climbers in Leucas I too had no idea that Leucas has climbing species. … oh, I could be wrong here! The flower with the signature tuft made me guess it as Leucas. Interesting! Obviously some Lamiaceae. Yes … i too am eagar to know…..
i think, it was a small climber because i had seen it climing on near by larger erect herbs (but may be this is not the criteria for confirming it was a climber, so i may be wrong)
sorry for uploading heavy images. am reloading the lighter ones thank you for the field botany course information. I am intrested in attending it but not sure if i can make it from Nashik. I agree with … id. It may be Leucas biflora, a trailing herb (not climber!). I tried to check out the L. biflora but thought that the leaves of the plant were different than that of these. I have pasted some URLs of Leucas biflora which make me think that this is a different plant
Botanical illustrations
Bizhat I tried to check out a paper published in the Indian Journal of traditional Knowledge which exibits a few photographs of Leucas biflora var procumbens. these photos are similar to the ones i have clicked. I am sorry for the earlier mail. but your as well as … inferences seem to be correct.
thank you for helping out with this one.
