Ocimum for ID 20072013 CS1 : Attachments (3). 6 posts by 3 authors. WE had bought a few species of Ocimum for our research. WE are now unable to differentiate between the species. Can some expert please help?

May be Ocimum gratissimum of Lamiaceae; common names- clove basil & wild basil.
Thank you ... for the Id. The first one is O. gratissimum , but the second and third images are different I think
True, the first is O.gratissimum, but the second and and third are not.

This plant was growing on our wasteland.
It smells like basil.
May I request you to please help in ID of this plant.
Is it Ocimum basilicum?
I think O. gratissimum
too me it looks like O. americanum
It looks like sabja plant from which we get the Sabja seeds used in falooda.
I think ... is right
I think this is a hybrid between O. basilicum X O. americanum, so the name should be Ocimum x africanum Lour. But I am not sure. What do you think?

Ocimum Species seen in the 'Medicinal Plants' section at the Flower Show in Mumbai couple of years ago.
Name given was 'Vaijayanti Tulas'.
Correct botanical name please.
On searching, Vaijayanti seems to be a common name for Ocimum gratissimum.

Ocimum americanum L., Cent. Plant. 1: 15. 1755.
After lot of searching I finally was able to photograph O. americanum yesterday from Herbal Garden in Lodhi Garden, Delhi. The plant with general habit of O. basilicum (with touch of O. sanctum) has distinctively smaller flowers.  

this ID needs reconsideration
All other photographs at the species page appears OK except this one.
Appears more close to Ocimum gratissimum L. as per images and details herein.
Yes, … That's why, I had asked for reconsideration.
