Cilannipattam (Mal & Tam); Pratanika (Sanskrit); In O. pallidus the white flower-tube is almost as long as the calyx, whereas in O. rubicundus the white flower-tube is twice as long as the calyx. In Orthosiphon pallidus, the corolla is as long as the calyx. The differentiating point between thymiflorous and rubicundus is leaf morphology. In rubicundus the leaf has very short petiole-up to 4mm or the leaf is almost sessile, and in thymiflorous petiole is longer-about 1 to 3cm;
Plant ID : Attachments (4). 12 posts by 5 authors. Requesting ID of a plant, photographed in SGNP near Kahneri Caves- Mumbai - on 23-8-09. Some ocimum Species. It is Orthosiphon pallidus locally called Jyoti. just check with Orthosiphon thymiflorus ( Roth.) Van der Sleesen in Reinwardtia 5: 42, 1959; Singh et al, Fl. Mah. St. 2: 745, 2001; Almeida, Fl. Mah. 4: 172, 2003; Pradhan et al, Fl. SGNP 515, 2005. Actually I think it is Orthosiphon pallidum var. glabrum. I think it's Orthosiphon rubicundus as per earlier thread: http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/08b687b2fb08ffe4 I agree with you that it is not Orthosiphon pallidus, as the corolla is twice as long as the calyx. The differentiating point between thymiflorous and rubicundus is leaf morphology. In rubicundus the leaf has very short petiole-up to 4mm or the leaf is almost sessile, and in thymiflorous petiole is longer-about 1 to 3cm. In the photographs posted by me long petiole is distinctly seen. So I think it is Orthosiphon thymiflorous. I am posting now photographs of a herb which I think is orthosiphon rubicundus, as the corolla is twice as long as the calyx & the leaves are almost sessile. The photograph is taken near Kaas plateau-Satara Maharashtra , on 12-9-09.
