Please id this Acanthaceae member; local people use the crushed leaf (sap) as soap. Location: Satyamangalam Scrub forest floor Date: 10 Dec 2009 Also this has succulent leaves. Attachments (2) I think this is Plectranthus caninus (Lamiaceae), a strong-smelling succulent herb. Attached picture shows the inflorescence of Plectranthus sp. Attachments (1)
Pl. confirm the sp. id of the Images attached Is it Coleus forskohlii? or any other sp. Location: Bahavani Sagar Dam, Sathy, Erode Dist. Date: 26.12.2011 Habitat: Urban,Road side Habit: Herb Possibly Plectranthus amboinicus. But the vegetative characters are not clear. Therefore, please check all the characters (veg. and floral) for correct ID. Please mention the size of leaves; because it (vegetative) appears like P.amboniacus. This herb is Plectranthus caninus of Lamiaceae. Please check the previous discussion here I think ... is correct with Plectranthus caninus. Please check it. The size of the leaf is 2-2.5 inch. I don't have the close up of leaves picture.
