It is my pleasure to share few images of Stachytarpheta indica (Verbenaceae) Habit: Under shrub Habitat: Wild, occurring in wastelands. Sighting: Eastern Plains of Chikmagalur and Tumkur, Karnataka, about 800 msl Date: 12-08-2014, 18-11-2014 and 29-09-2015 blue snake weed. we also know it (i think) as Stachytarpheta jamaicensis I have seen it planted in at least one herbal gardden in south 24 paraganas in west bengal a few years ago... even though its supposed to be a bit toxic to the liver do your region have ethnobotanical studies? do tribals in your forest use it? As per GRIN & WCSP, Stachytarpheta indica (L.) Vahl does not have range in India. Different book references as below points to Stachytarpheta jamaicensis (I..) Vahl S. indica auct. non (L.)

Silar Mohammed (2000) Flora of Madhya Pradesh: Chhatarpur and Damoh By G. P. Roy, B. K. Shukla, Bhaskar Datt Floristic Diversity of Assam: Study of Pabitora Wildlife (2003) The Flowers of India site lists Stachytarpheta indica in their pages and call it as "Indian snake weed" and says that it is similar to S. jamaicensis. They further add that it is not clear as to whether the two are same...! Ref:http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Indian%20Snakeweed.html yes, ... all those links that ... has sent if you look at them (i did just now) both are listed in the same listing as if the authors are implying they are synonyms all snakeweed at east these blue one hybridize like crazy and are according to univ fl extension ...difficult to differentiate...Yes ..., The possibility of natural hybridisation has compounded the problem of classification and nomenclature. As per my field observation over the years the ones growing in the Eastern plains have off-blue coloured flowers and the ones growing around Ghat forests have deep blue flowers. But I cannot substantiate scientifically....Its only my observation...!

Attachments (3) Attached are pictures of Stachytarpheta cayennensis captured at MNP in March 2013. Could someone please indicate the difference between S. jamaicensis and S. cayennensis? difference is in the leaves but you need absolutely flat leaves like when you put it on ground or a white sheet of paper or make a herbarium, several leaves and from both types and compare there is a way to differentiate but it can not be done it here, no leaf is flat and one that looks flat makes one dx and another that's curving creates doubts. optical illusion makes the teeth look different in your different leaves this is a case where if it pleases you you keep the diagnosis you have was it labelled by the botanists there? or label it as Stachytarpheta sp.. I managed to get some shots of the leaves yesterday, attached as pics... Based on Dineshji's post, this does seem to be S. cayennensis. Please advice.... I think we should take it as Stachytarpheta jamaicensis (L.) Vahl in view of the links provided by ... as below along with Factsheet links, for the time being: Stachytarpheta jamaicensis for v0-`alidation-GSDEC2016/10 : 3 posts by 2 authors. I had taken these photographs last year while accompanying ... within Bangalore and Chikamagalur in September 2015. Comparison with images images on Flowers of India is even more confusing, but looking at this website and comparison therein (although it considers S. indica as synonym of S. jamaicensis) I place this within S. jamaicensis Thanks, ... I think yes as per http://lee.ifas.ufl.edu/Hort/GardenPubsAZ/Blue_porterweed.pdf
