Pogostemon plectranthoides, photographed from Morni hills, Haryana. Nice photo of this common species. Of course, some authors treat this as P. benghalensis (=syn. P. plectranthoides) In my personal opinion, after studying nearly 1000 specimens throughout India, it is better to treat it in former species as no clearcut difference could be drawn for both the species. po-go-STEM-on -- from the Greek pogon (beard) and stemon (thread, stamen) ben-gal-EN-sis -- of or from Bengal (India) [image: Pogostemon benghalensis]<http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/3127028065/> Dec 19, 2008 at Raigad fort commonly known as: Bengal pogostemon, cockspur patchouli • *Assamese*: sukloti • *Bengali*: জূঈ লতা jui-lata • *Hindi*: ईश्वर जटा ishwar jata • * Manipuri*: লমগী থোঈদিঙ lamgi thoiding • *Marathi*: पांगळी pangli • *Nepalese *: रुधिलो rudhilo • *Oriya*: dumobadotoko • *Telugu*: పెద్ద తులసి pedda tulasi Native of: India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, n Thailand - [image: Ishwar Jata (Hindi: ईश्वर जटा)]<http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/4351025361/> ...

Date: February 2015 Place: Agumbe, Karnataka Habit: Herb For me this is Pogostemon benghalensis .. Pogostemon plectranthoides- Kali Basuti. It is Pogostemon benghalensis (Burm. f.) Kuntze, and treated Pogostemon plectranthoides Desf. as synonym of the former in my works. But some authors treat them as separate species. P. benghalensis is highly variable with regard to leaf margin, verticillasters density and type of indumentum, it is better to treat them as one species. Pogostemon benghalensis (Burm.f.)

That is an interesting point you raised. ... picture of Pogostemon benghalensis on FOI was taken on 31st January in Maharashtra. So December doesn't look all that wrong, which was taken from Ingalhalikar's Flowers of Sahyadri. The second image by Girija was taken in Mussoorie on 1st March. Maybe the flowering times in Western Ghats and the Himalayan foothills are somewhat different.
