Hooghly Today : Leucas aspera (Willdenow) Link:<\/span><\/a>
\nIt took me more than an hour to decide not to use “?” in the title of this post. So, i think this is Leucas aspera<\/i> (Willdenow) Link, a small herb (less than a foot) beside rail-tracks.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Is it Lepidagathis<\/span><\/i> ?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I am not sure, I thought it could be a Leucas<\/i> species, since the flowers as well as the plant resembles the illustrations at – http:\/\/plantillustrations.org\/taxa.php?id_taxon=5081<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

I think Leucas aspera<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I think I have more clear pictures of this plant, recorded sometimes later after this first upload. Will search my hard-disk and post in this thread.<\/p>\n

\n

Attaching new set of this plant, recorded at the same place and of same population.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Lovely pictures indeed, I hope the id is right..Leucas aspera<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you very much Sir, two earlier<\/span><\/a> threads helped<\/span><\/a> me much.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In light of upload by … this could be L. ciliata<\/i> (longer calyx lobes; hispid).<\/p>\n

\n
The problem is that learning from here, in this group, I teach, rather give opinion, to my friends in other groups, my students, (sometimes my colleagues too!). Now, I will have to recall whom did I impart knowledge regarding id of Leucas<\/i> since 2013. Okay… that’s my job, eFI is not at all responsible for that.<\/div>\n
Following are the Indian sites which think what Leucas ciliata<\/i> can be –<\/div>\n
