ID request–Strobilanthes Sp?? – indiantreepix | Google Groups<\/font><\/span><\/a>:<\/div>\n
Came across this <\/font>Strobilanthes<\/em> sp. near Munnar, Kerala (November).<\/font> <\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
This photos are from my old collection and unfortunately these are the only photos i have of this sp.
As\u00a0 indicated by …, additional photos of leaves, stems, etc would have been of help for arriving at proper ID. I agree and its a good suggestion ..<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
