Habitat: sloping meadow Habit: herb about 30 - 40 cm high, flower about 2 mm across Perhaps clinopodium umbrosum Yes Sir clinopodium umbrosum The angle of your shot made it deceptive. It is an interrupted spike, but the shot, although very beautiful, makes it appear as a continuous spike. Still can't believe it is the same as this: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Shady%20Calamint.html ..., I do not see toothed margin described for leaf at FOI. Do we re-validate both: posted plant and that at FOI ? I know when you raise some doubt, some thing good comes out. Clinopodium umbrosum as well as the related species C. vulgare show lot of variation in leaf size, leaf may be subentire, crenulate to serrate in both the species, and intergrading forms do occur. Former has loose distant whorls, smaller bracts barely up to 4 mm long and corolla 6-9 mm longer, the leaves are more sharply toothed typically. C. vulgare has leaves less sharply toothed almost subentire, whorls condensed, bracts 5-10 mm long and corolla 10-15 mm long. I agree we should have typical specimens on our websites for clear reference. . I am uploading some more photographs for comparison from Kashmir. The above from ... I am sure belong to C. umbrosum.

Lamiaceae (incl. Verbenaceae) Fortnight :: Lamiaceae ::Plant for ID.:: SMPMAY51/51 : 5 posts by 4 authors. 1 image. Plant for ID Micromeria?? Binsar From Infl it is look like Clinopodium sp I think closer to Clinopodium umbrosum (M.Bieb.) Kuntze as per keys and images herein. nice capture do you have pictures of the leaves and the stem? The picture dates back to 2005. I was not much curious about plants at that time. Birds, mammals,butterflies....fauna in general.......As you can see it's a picture of a butterfly. Somehow after searching old images matching with some of the newly posted ones by others I thought this to be from Lamiaceae. Obviously no other pictures. Because of the group I now know that it is Clinopodium. Whenever I will get a chance in similar habitat (Rarely one visits the same area that far off from ones native place unless one thinks it's very very extraordinary) I or any other like minded member will surely observe and photograph with searching mind to get more details. Thanks for the opinions all my dear friends.
This herb was recorded from Gori Valley area, is this Clinopodium umbrosum or otherwise ?? It is not Clinopodium umbrosum, form calyx character, I guess it might be Melissa sp., but not sure. I also think close to images at Clinopodium umbrosum

I photographed this ground hugging plant a couple of days ago and suspect it to be of Nepeta genus. Please advise. Nepeta species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) Does not appear to be a Nepeta species. May be from some other genus. Thank you ... for fishing it out again. I now think this to be a Clinopodium sp., perhaps Clinopodium umbrosum. I will have to look at my original photos to see if I had photographed the calyx properly. Yes, you may be right.
