A flower from Arunachal Pradesh-2<\/a> : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I request identification of these lovely purple flowers growing on a bush near the road?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Date: 22nd<\/sup> Oct 08.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Location: We were returning from Arzoo, lying between Anini and Hunli in Upper Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh<\/span> when my attention was drawn to numerous Spot Puffin butterflies feeding on these purple flowers.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Altitude: approx. 1100m.
\n<\/span><\/span>Incidentally, this was the only flowering bush for quite a stretch.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

its looks like Pogostemon<\/i> sp<\/p>\n

\n

Is it an aquatic herb? Looks like Pogostemon<\/i> (deccanensis<\/i>?), an
\naquatic.<\/p>\n

\n

It is identified as <\/span>Pogostemon benghalensis.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I think Pogostemon elsholtzioides<\/i><\/span> Benth.<\/span><\/u><\/a>\u00a0as per images herein.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes, the leaf characters indicates it is P. elsholtzoides<\/i>. In photo it is very difficult to understand the species based on inflorescence character in Pogostemon<\/i>\/Lamiaceae<\/i>.<\/p>\n
