I have two distinct populations from Chakrata, which look very different to me but Dr. Wood, an authority on Strobilanthes<\/i> considers them the same species, now known as Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/b><\/i> (Nees) J. R. I. Wood (syn: Aechmanthera gossypina<\/i> (Wall.) Nees.<\/div>\n
This is the First population from Mussoorie Chakrata Road<\/span> has\u00a0broader nearly ovate leaves with much more distinct nerves on the underside, longer corolla tube more gradually expanded and darker flower colour.

Thanks Sir for this upload Now Situation Clear but i think i missed this plant to shoot<\/p>\n

\n

Finally i got my plant also. here are mine from same place<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes …, you have got it. but somehow I missed the Pteracanthus, thinking that I already had many.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feedback as per another thread<\/span><\/a>:
\nMy earlier upload as <\/span>Aechmanthera<\/i> may be <\/span>Strobilanthes<\/i>, perhaps <\/span>S. glutinosus<\/i> because of petioled leaves, foliaceous looking persistent bracts although calyx is not glandular pubescent. Pl. suggest ID.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

It looks like Aechmathera gosypina<\/i> to me.<\/p>\n

\n

I believe this is Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/b> (Nees) J.R.I.Wood which is the correct name for Aechmanthea gossypina.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n
This plant was identifies as Aechmanthera gossypina now named as Strobilanthes tomentosa. In his personal communication he considered it as variation of this species.<\/div>\n
The other plant which I thought actual Aechmanthera gossypina was also confirmed by Dr. Wood as S. tomentosa<\/div>\n

\nTo me both plants look very different. If this is correctly identified we need to have relook at other one.<\/span><\/div>\n

Do we have Aechmanthera gossypina in our database?? Uploading from Tiger Fall area of Chakrata-GSAUG02<\/a> : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments(4).<\/p>\n

\n
I post in Indian Flora and identified as Aechmanthera gossypina led me to scrutinize my files and those in our database. I found that there are two populations identified in my Chakrata collections, one from Mussoorie Chakrata Road which I unfortunately I uploaded as Aechmanthera gossypina but is actually Strobilanthus<\/i>, and second from Tiger Fall Area of Chakrata<\/span>, which is real Aechmanthera gossypina<\/i>, differentiated by by narrower lanceolate upper leaves, its light blue flowers, smaller in size, usually not longer than 2.5 cm, in one sides clusters in a panicle and linear capsule.<\/span><\/div>\n
My earlier upload as Aechmanthera<\/i> may be Strobilanthes<\/i>, perhaps S. glutinosus<\/i> because of petioled leaves, foliaceous looking persistent bracts although calyx is not glandular pubescent. Pl. suggest ID<\/div>\n
efi thread<\/a><\/div>\n
The upload by … from Chakrata road as Aechmanthera gossypina<\/i>, to me appears a Strobilanthes dalhousieanus<\/i>. pl. validate.<\/div>\n
efi thread<\/a><\/div>\n
The upload by … may also be some species of Strobilanthes-pl validate<\/div>\n
efi thread<\/a>
\nAnd finally upload on Flowers of India by … may be similar to mine and may be similarly <\/span>S. glutinosus<\/i>, because it also has dark blue flowers unlike true <\/span>Aechmanthera gossypina<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n

This is Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/b> (Nees) J.R.I. Wood which is the correct name for Aechmanthera gossypina<\/i>.<\/p>\n

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

This plant also identified by Dr. Wood as Aechmanthera gossypina<\/i> now known as Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/b>,
\nTo me looks totally different from other plant
\nefi thread<\/a>
\nAfter having seen some photographs of <\/span>S. kunthiana<\/i>, I have a strong feeling that our plant is very much similar to it in inflorescence and flowers. Can this Western Ghats endemic plant (or its close relative) can occur in Western Himalayas, our experts may thrown light on this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any Strobilanthes <\/i>species?<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks …, it looks like Strobilanthes
\n<\/i>My search in Floras and net did not yield any species reported from North, but wild search from Net and finally FBI landed me to <\/span>S. gossypinus<\/i> T. Anders. reported from mountains of S. Deccan and Mysore. Perhaps you can comment on this.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

This looks like Thelepaepale ixiocephala<\/i> to me.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Thelepaepale ixiocephala<\/i> (Strobilanthes ixiocephalus<\/i>) according to FBI has nearly glabrous leaves<\/span> (not woolly beneath)<\/span> and flowers in heads.<\/span> Not in this plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I have seen and I have opined. You in your infinite wisdom have decreed otherwise. I, therefore, have to defer to your expertise.
\n<\/span>Be that as it may …Dr. Almeida writes ‘” <\/span>Leaves ….densely lineolate on both sides,the upper side and the nerves beneath rough with short stiff hair….. . Flowers in pedunculate, ovoid, viscid spikes ….solitary and axillary, or in branched [often ternate] cymes which are axillary or terminally clustered….
\n<\/span>Mr.Ingalhalikar in his ‘Flowers of the Sayadris’ writes ” <\/span>Leaves opposite…..densely hairy….<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

My information was based only on what I read from FBI. I would be happy if you are correct. I could not find some good photographs on the net. Kindly upload if you have some good photographs to help.<\/p>\n

\n

It look like Nilgrianthus<\/i> sp. to me.<\/p>\n

\n

Perhaps the same question. Can we expect this genus in NW India?<\/p>\n

\n

I too think that this would be Nilgrianthus<\/i> sp or Strobilanthes<\/i> sp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strobilanthus for ID from Chakrata-GSAUG04<\/span><\/a> : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3).
\nThis <\/span>Strobilanthes<\/em> was tentatively identified in my folders as <\/span>S. glutinosa<\/em>. This is quite distinct from other Strobilanthes uploaded by me in smaller densely hairy leaves, but does seem to lack glandular calyx. Please help in ID

Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/em> as per another thread<\/span><\/a> by Dr. Wood.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … The two are obviously close enough, as per this statement in eFlora of China.

I am not sure about this. It is almost certainly Strobilanthes<\/em> but I can\u2019t see the shape of the inflorescence. It might be <\/span>Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/em>\u00a0(Nees) J.R.I. Wood or\u00a0<\/span>S. kingdonii<\/em>\u00a0J.R.I.Wood or possibly something else. The shape of the inflorescence \u2013 photo from side showing the whole upper part of the plant plus a mature leaf is important for identification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Strobilanthes spp. for identification, Kindly Help!<\/a>: 4 high res. images.<\/p>\n

\n
I’m attaching a few pictures of\u00a0Strobilanthes<\/em> sp. which looks very similar to\u00a0Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/i>, I checked a few available pictures on the group but I’m not sure if it’s really S. tomentosa or some other species.<\/div>\n
Dear Members, I also saw an abstract of the paper in ‘The Indian Forester’ mentioning that “S. tomentosa<\/em> has a gregarious flowering cycle of 12 years” Can someone kindly confirm that it has a flowering cycle of 12 years?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Filed Observations:<\/u>\u00a05-7 feet tall multi-branched perennial bush growing on rocky landforms in both semi-shades and sun-faced moist slopes.<\/span> Leaves are opposite, thick and leathery. Blue-colored flowers in bunches.
\n<\/span>I photographed it <\/span>in the Bilaspur district(Alt. 800mt.) of Himachal Pradesh in the First week of October 2023.<\/span><\/div>\n

ID is correct.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, appears close to images\u00a0at
\nhttps:\/\/efloraofindia.com\/2011\/04\/12\/strobilanthes-tomentosa\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Yes I think this Strobilanthes tomentosa<\/em> (Nees) J.R.I.Wood. It is quite variable but this seems to fit okay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
