Stachytarpheta cayennensis (Rich.) Vahl

Very good clicks. Yet to see it.
nice how do you differentiate it from the jamaica vervain? I would not be able to make out among the Cayenne and Jamaican. Clicking on last pic will lead to flickr photo page, where a flickr member, familiar with both the species, threw light on the differences.
Thanks ... I see what that expert thought seeing the last picture
and this is why herbarium sheets though "dead" are so useful
I have my doubts still
anyway I am happy to see this case in nature and there is always a next time

Vahl, thank you for correcting me References:
