Please identify this plant details of which are as follows: Date : 11.11.12 Location :Nagamalai hills, 20 km west of Madurai Altitude :500 to 700 ft Habitat :wild, base of rocky hill Habit :shrub Height :2 to 3 ft Leaves :opposite Flowers :pinkish Fruits :not seen It looks like Anisomeles malabarica. Yes Anisomeles malabarica from me too.
Family: Lamiaceae Location : Enabavi, WarrangalCan it be Anisomeles malabarica? It seems to be similar to what I had sent recently which was identified by ... However, I do not know the differentiating features when compared with A indica. I believe that these two show Ornithophily ( ?Pollination by birds) about which there was an article in Jbnhs by some one from Vizag 2 decades back. It is Anisomeles malabarica (L.) R.Br. ex Sims; it is known as magabeera in telugu. It is common throughout A.P. Seen on the outskirts of Nasik. this is good
It is my pleasure to present few images of Anisomeles malabarica (Lamiaceae) Ref: http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=2432&cat=1 Ref: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Malabar%20Catmint.html Habit: Herb Habitat: Wild, Wasteland Sighting: Gubbi, Tumkur, Karnataka, about 800 msl Date: 03-11-2015 nice. seems very popular with insects The plant that i am posting grows about 2 kms away from the Eastern coast of kanyakumari. the general plant profile of that area is thorny scrub. This is a herbaceous plant and the flowers are actually pink in colour. Because of the shade I guess, my camera kept producing a blue colour. Advice is also welcome as to what to do under such circumstances, because most of the pink coloured flowers phtographed recently are coming out as blue coloured. Plant is quite hairy and i though it probably belonged to Family Labiatae? Does it? It grows amongst the flowers that i have posted earlier Id reqested please. ¿ Anisomeles indica ? Thank you, checked a couple of leads for description as well as photos on flickr confirmed it to be Anisomeles indica I think this is Anisomeles malabarica (L.) R.Br. ex Sims as per images herein. |
