Herb ID request - RK118 - 22-Aug-2013 : Attachments (2). 4 posts by 3 authors. Requesting id of this small herb seen recently in Karjat. The leaves are also quite small, maybe around 3 to 4 cms. but they are quite interesting since the under-side of the leaves is pink. Flowers / fruits not seen. ... Begonia ? any thing like hemigraphis....? Thanks a lot ... for the possible ids. I hope to see it flowering to be able to identify it properly. Perhaps Plectranthus scutellaroides Thanks, ..., I do not think so as per Plectranthus scutellarioides Maybe a Pogostemon sp. Both P. pubescens and P. purpurascens have younger leaves with pink colour on the undersides. Both are found in Karjat area. |
