I have inserted a slide of Plectranthus zuluensis for your perusal

1 image.

inflorescence shape is different feom what appears on the net

https://www.anniesannuals.com/plants/view/?id=1552

there are many such

my questions: where did the plant label// id come from??? did you buy it thus labelled? did you buy seeds thus labelled? did someone diagnose it as such? please respond to each of my questions

Thanks for your questions. I like that. I am open for corrections. The over confidence led me to this situation.

If the identification is wrong i will delete the name from the slide. But I am sure it is some Plectranthus. So I will not claim it as zuluensis.

This plant was brought to our home. The name was unknown to me. Then I had a chance to visit the nursery, where I found several such plants grouped together with the signage as PENTAS. I raised the question about the name. I was told there are many varieties of PENTAS. I was not covinced. So i referred it to the forum.

Here I got the clue that it can be Plectranthus. I looked at Flowers of india. The description was matching with the Plectranthus zuluensis – 1) Stem four angled. 2) Leaves with toothed margin 3) Pungent smell when crushed 4) Rows of mauve dot on the upper lip. So I believed it to be zuluensis.

You have pointed that inflorescence shape is different. I need to study that.

A) Above explanation answers your first question.

B) I have not bought the plant. It was not carrying any tag.

C) We did not buy seeds. The ready plant was delivered.

D) No body has diagnosed it. It is my diagnosis. I am open for corrections.

With this I have responded to all your questions. Now help me to name it correctly. So that I can correct the nursery staff. I love perfection.

I appreciate your patience with me. I am not a botanist. But to identify with correct name of plant is my passion. With limited knowledge I have made about 250 slides. All are not confirmed / certified by authorities in the field.

Once again I am indebted to you to show me the right path.

thanks for your answers. i have forwarded them to eflora group. I have helped you as far as i can go based on these pictures

thats it is Plectranthus sp most likely a hybrid called “mona lavendar” .

I do not buy into the notion that a few pictures can nail down a species level diagnosis. Hope this helps

Can someone tell me what meant by “ornamental plant” beautiful? cultivar? ? ? ?

An ornamental is a plant which is planted because it looks good, and not for some other reason like medicinal purpose.

… though all plants are beautiful, some of them are known to add beauty to its surroundings by virtue of its appealing form, beautiful foliage (usually dense, not necessarily), attractive flowers (fragrance, not necessary), or very simply because it belongs to foreign land.
Thus, ornamental plants are certainly beautiful … broadly, beautiful plant need not be ornamental.
Cultivars are man-made (alterations) to natural forms of plants
— they are ornamental, if we think of horticultural plants finding their way to gardens, avenues, indoors, &c.
— they are not ornamental, if we think of agricultural plants finding their way to our stomachs !!
Ornamental plants normally please our eyes (or noses !!) … most often do not serve other purpose.
… that is my understanding, some views may need revision.

Thank you …,

that was my doubt. I find all flowers beautiful. So was wondering why some are stressed as ornamental. But some doubts are cleared now.

Thanks … too and all others why may still answer the querry.

Ornamental Plants are those which are planted due to their aesthetic beauty.
Cultivar basically means, CULTIVATED VARIETY
Beautiful is an adjective, not a scientific term and it varies according to perception.

Any plant with an aesthetic beauty , you plant them in your gardens and anywhere to make it look beautiful.

Cultivar is cultivated variety generally used for cultivated crops.

Is this Plectranthus mono lavender?

Plectranthus ‘Mona lavendar’ as per details and references herein.
