…, please do not mind, it appears to me that L. aspera<\/i>\u00a0(Willd.)
\nLink is an ever elusive species! Where are the linear hispid bracts in
\nyour species? Aren’t leaves are too broad? Does the calyx have oblique
\nmouth, even slightly?<\/p>\n

I have also posted the same plant for ID. Hope it is resolved.<\/p>\n

I hesitate to say that I think the species in this thread looks like- efi thread<\/a>
\nBut calyx teeth of the above species is shorter in – efi thread<\/a> and in efi thread<\/a> (…)
\nefi thread<\/a> (repeat post of …, validated by Dr. Sunoj Ji efithread<\/a>).
\nI think this species in this thread is <\/span>L. mollissima<\/i>\u00a0or one of its var.<\/span><\/p>\n

1st and 4th pics are different from 2nd and 3rd, may be same species, but certainly recorded at different time.
\nKEW has several herb of <\/span>L. biflora<\/i>, leaves in those herb are entirely different.
\n<\/span>Calyx teeth of 2nd and 3rd pic and leaves are similar to <\/span>L. decemdentata<\/i> record of efi dbase.
\n<\/span>Slender calyx teeth in 1st and 4th pics suggest probability of <\/span>L. mollissima<\/i>\u00a0record of efi dbase.<\/span><\/p>\n

My record of <\/span>L. biflora<\/i> is different to this one. Unlike … thread here number of flowers are less and calyx teeth triangular.
\n<\/span>This much I can say.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

…, please ensure it has to be procumbent to be Leucas biflora<\/i>\u00a0(Vahl) R. Br.<\/p>\n

Moreover, branches should be many, pubescent with deflexed hairs; leaves should be pubescent on both sides, I am not sure of how the hairs in the photographs can be defined. The problem is hairs in\u00a0L. decemdentata<\/i>\u00a0also varies from glabrate to villous to strigose.<\/div>\n
Another problem area is calyx mouth is dialated, distinctly ribbed, rib excurrent to calyx teeth (a feature of L. montana<\/i>\u00a0not to be found in your area. calyx teeth linear-subulate). But can those teeth be called triangular-subulate (a feature of biflora<\/i>, decemdentata<\/i>, lanata<\/i>)?
\nPlease check my record of <\/span>biflora<\/i>\u00a0at\u00a0<\/span>efi thread<\/a> and … <\/span>at\u00a0efi thread 2<\/a>\u00a0… decide yourself.<\/span><\/div>\n

I agree Sir.
\nHaines (also noted by Dr. V. S. in the monograph) that considered close affinity of L. montana<\/i>\u00a0with L. decemdentata<\/i> (a variable species).
\nAs per the monograph, <\/span>L. lavandulifolia<\/i>\u00a0Sm. was named as\u00a0<\/span>L. indica<\/i>\u00a0(L.) Vatke. “The name <\/span>L. indica<\/i>\u00a0(L.) Vatke (1875) based on <\/span>Leonurus indicus<\/i>\u00a0L. ……. should be rejected”.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is difficult to me to differentiate the 3 spp. having truncate calyx mouth – (1)\u00a0L. decemdentata<\/i>\u00a0var. decemdentata<\/i>\u00a0(2) L. lanata<\/i>\u00a0var. lanata<\/i>\u00a0(3) L. montana<\/i>.<\/p>\n

For, descriptions of the above three spp. appear similar to me. Differentiations though starts with stem indumentum are not enough to enable a non-botanist to have a good grip over the above three.<\/div>\n
In spite of the above I think the attached plate, prepared from my one earlier thread is of Leucas decemdentata<\/i>\u00a0var. decemdentata<\/i>\u00a0for its –<\/div>\n
