Confusion of isodon lophanthoides from Kalatope: 4 correct images. I have a slight confusion over the species isodon lophanthoides, I know this topic has been covered before but.... Two of my observations have been id'd as isodon lophanthoides, I am sure there is a logical explanation or a variation of species... could someone enlighten me about this.... Is there a sub-species of isodon lophanthoides...?? To me the two plants vary in size, leaves and the flowers vary in colour. their streaks/spots and even in the lower lips.... but... What is labeled as Isodon1 was discussed in the thread Isodon2 is also similar to isodon lophanthoides ... perhaps there is some difference between when you identify from books and study plants without flowers. Luckily we saw both on our trip to Chakrata and you must have seen we uploaded them also Your Isodon1 is Plectranthus barbatus. (syn:Coleus barbatus (Andrews) Benth.; Coleus forskohlii (Poir.) Briquet;) your Isodon2 is Isodon lophanthoides (syn Plectranthus gerardianus) I hope now your doubts are over I think your Isodon1 appears close to images at Isodon coetsa (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) Kudô Location Kalatope, Chamba Altitude 2100 mts Habit herb Habitat wild Height 12 inches Season September Can it be Isodon sp. of Lamiaceae (I. rugosus) I think I have given reply to this in thread:[efloraofindia:89779] Confusion of isodon lophanthoides from Kalatope This plant is Isodon lophanthoides (syn Plectranthus gerardianus) Place: Cairn Hill (about 7460 ft asl), Ooty.

This plant was uploaded during Lamiaceae Week. It is Isodon lophanthoides (syn Plectranthus gerardianus) Yes Sir, Thanks a lot for correction. very nice, does it have any scent when you crush the leaves? I think all of us on the trip missed that point, especially I never crushed the leaves or smelt the flowers of this, of course it would be having nice fragrance... That's alright, some plectranthus have nice smell... and their surface "hairs" always look as if they have some oil droplets... and in Calcutta air they trap dark particles that dont wash away easily... that's all

Family: Lamiaceae Date: 26th December 2015 Place: Agumbe, Karnataka Habit: Herb Habitat: Riparian This was earlier identified as Isodon sp. by ... and then later ... too agreed. But a species could not be identified then. Isodon in Digital Fl. Karnataka provides the following species. Please validate if this can be Plectranthus stocksii J. Hooker (Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H.Hara). Identification feature according to JCB is the presence of red glands on the underside of leaves and calyx and corolla. I am not sure if they are present on the leaves and corolla but the calyx is definitely dotted with red glands. I am attaching a close up of the calyx.May I know how did you identify the genus, please. I did not identify the genus by myself sir. ... in an earlier post of the same plant had provided the ID. Do not know where to begin with generic level identification for Lamiaceae yet.Well, I do not know either. I think id is correct. FoC says P. stocksii is synonym of Isodon lophanthoides var. lophanthoides. FBI says P. stocksii Hook. f. "possibly a form of P. striatus, but is a larger plant." FBI further informs Heyne's specimen, though very small, is this one. Type specimen of the above can be viewed - http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K001067855 3 more herb that may interest you -
Please wait for pro. Meanwhile, can you please throw some light on other aspect? - FoC says Lamiaceae flowers are bisexual. Then why in its illustrations it shows female flower in another species - http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=4495&flora_id=2? Thank you sir. Heyne's specimen has been collected from 'Baba Budan Hills' which is the current day Bababudangiri in Chikamagalur, a shola grassland area. The altitude is known to affect the size of almost all plants, according to one professor who told me this. This could be the reason for the small size. Although I cannot be sure, I do not know the scientific reason to explain this.Thank you for the info, after quite a search found that lamiaceae can show gynomonoecy - http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S2175-78602012000100010&script=sci_arttext

Pl. identify following plant. Date: 14.11.2010 place: Dalhousiae, Chamba district in Himachal It is better to take the photographs of such specimen on a black back ground for better clarity, using black paper. Lamiaceae member; may be Isodon? could this be Isodon nigrescens? Its a wild guess...
The flower reminded me of Isodon but I can’t place it. Please help with the ID. Mcleodganj-Triund Trek, 2100m approx. 21 August 2016 Yes ..., Please check Isodon lopanthoides....!!! Thank you again ... I had thought so too initially but the leaves in photos on the internet look so different (my sample looks closer to a spurge) that I dismissed that thought. The leaves on my sample are thick and leathery with tips curved up on the ones on top. Do you think it’s just a variation? Please advise. Does not match with images of Isodon lopanthoides at This is like a cat nip. similar type of plant. Appears closer to images at Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H.Hara Upper leaves appear a bit deformed. In the leaves there is a lot of variation as can be seen at Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H.Hara Thank you ... ... had kindly pointed out the variation in leaves last year too.

Appears interesting. Yes, looks like. I thought it to be Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H.Hara so took some random shots but while checking at home flower pattern looked different. Unfortunately, I did not collect specimen also. Very interesting, I've not come across! Pl. check Fl China too! Could you please guide me which genus to check specially ? Isodon ?? I checked all Isodons in China but i could not find any image matching and it is difficult for me to go with descriptions. Did not find match with any Labiatae found in the Kathmandu Valley listed according to the Flora of Kathmandu Valley. I think Nepal species are give under Rabdosia as below. Pl. check I tried all Isodon, Rabdosia, Coleus, Plectranthus and some other sp listed in Nepal but no luck. Check only the Rabdosia species which are not available in efi so far. I tried all possibilities! It has been identified as Isodon lophanthoides (Ruch.-Ham. ex D. Don) by Dr. Chunlei from China. Any further opinions ? But I am still confused ... since the flower image does not match with so may images I had clicked of Isodon lophanthoides (Ruch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Ask Dr. Chunlei, if it can be from any of these species. I think Nepal species are give under Rabdosia as below. Pl. check He has already said twice as its ID so I feel awkward to ask again. By the way isn't the petal/corolla pattern looks completely different than the Isodon lophanthoides ? Yes, it looks different. I am afraid it turns out to be new species😂 ! But before that you have to rule out species at http://www.efloras.org/browse.aspx?flora_id=110&start_taxon_id=127871 and there is no shame in holding on to a set of pictures as Dubia like ... taught us until such time that our reading and knowledge catches up with our camera shutters. ... go thru the list on that page link in ... post, take each species and read about it, google it etc etc to find your sp id. if the latest exercise does not yield, let it rest, it will come to us/you It is Isodon lophanthoides ! Has anything changed since last discussion? I have shot few images yesterday. I shall post in few days time. OK. Yes, you seems to be right in view of your post at Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H.Hara However it has already been identified I am enclosing some fresh images showing purple tint in the petal margins shot recently at the same location as earlier images as promised you earlier.

SK 2798 21 October 2020 : 12 posts by 2 authors. 7 images- 4 to 7 mb each. Location: Phulchoki, Lalitpur Date: 07 October 2020 Elevation: 1855m. Habit : Wild Isodon lophanthoides var. graciliflorus (Benth.) H.Hara ?? Yes, it appears so, as per Keys in Flora of China. POWO and Catalogue of Life, mention only this variety other than the type variety. But I find a lot of variation in leaves in our posts at Isodon lophanthoides, not only in leaf apex but also in other aspects of the leaves. So in view, I feel we should not segregate our posts based on these keys and keep them as these are now. Flora of Pakistan says, "Although some authors recognize "Plectranthus gerardianus" as a separate species and others recognize it as one of the varieties of Isodon lophanthoides (var. gerardianus (Benth.) Hara), our specimens (with the available material) all seem to be the same taxon." I guess this is different. In that case how do we segregate var. and subsp. of so many different plant sp. listed with accepted names ? By the way this has been validated by expert whose validation we have accepted in many sp.earlier. Fwd: Re: Re: Re: Isodon lophanthoides var. graciliflorus (Benth.) H.Hara ?? I want to know if you have collected specimens and would you share some leaves to me please? This should be Isodon lophanthoides var. graciliflorus (Benth.) H.Hara. Isodon phulchokiensis is in another mail. Yes, it is Isodon lophanthoides var. graciliflorus. Thanks for sharing beautiful pictures.
