There seems to be some confusion in your first picture as it does not appear to be of Orthosiphon aristatus<\/i> (Blume) Miq.<\/font><\/a>\u00a0as per images herein.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
It is being shown against Orthosiphon thymiflorus<\/i>\u00a0<\/font>in Flowersofindia<\/font><\/a>.\u00a0but this also does not match with images at\u00a0Orthosiphon thymiflorus<\/i> (Roth) Sleesen<\/font><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>
