TAXONOMIC STATUS OF GENUS NEPETA L. (LAMIACEAE) IN KASHMIR HIMALAYA, INDIA by T. Hassan, G. H. Dar & A. A. Khuroo- Hassan, T., Dar, G. H. & Khuroo, A. A. 2011 12 31: Taxonomic status of genus Nepeta L. (Lamiaceae) in Kashmir Himalaya, India. -Iran. J. Bot. 17 (2): 181-188. Tehran. (pdf- with details & keys)
The present communication pertains to twenty two species of Nepeta recorded from the Kashmir Himalaya. Out of these twelve species were recorded from Kashmir region and eleven from Ladakh region. One species i.e. N. salviaefolia is common to both the regions. All the species are perennial but for N. annua, which is an annual. A taxonomic account of all the species, following recent nomenclature has been presented herewith. 

 
Taxonomic Status of Genus Nepeta L. (Lamiaceae) in Kashmir Himalaya, India by Tauheeda Hassan, G.H. Dar- The Indian Forester- Volume 139, Issue 12, December 2013- 
During survey of Kashmir Himalaya twenty two species of Nepeta were recorded of which twelve were from Kashmir region and remaining from Ladakh region. The species recorded are;
N. annua,
N. cataria,
N. campestris,
N. clarkei,
N. coerulescens,
N. connata,
N. discolor,
N. elliptica,
N. erecta,
N. eriostachys,
N. floccosa,
N. glutinosa,
N. govaniana,
N. kokanica,
N. laevigata,
N. linearis,
N. longibracteata,
N. nervosa,
N. paulsenii,
N. podostachys,
N. raphanorhiza and
N. salviaefolia.
Some species like N. elata, N. royleana, N. pamirensis and N. vakanica are synonyms of N. laevigata, N. salviaefolia, N. kokanica and N. floccosa respectively which were considered as separate species. N. leucophylla of Dehradun Herbarium has not been found in our study area. This species perhaps has been confused earlier with our N. salviaefolia.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Nepeta (Pl. click).

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome.
 

Pl. go through Nepeta (Lamiaceae‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎) page with images of species in efloraofindia.

If you find any incorrect identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice.
