Dear Alok ji,
I think this is  Plectranthus sp. Looks like  Plectranthus barbatus (Family: Lamiaceae).

regards
Prashant

Thank you, dear friends,
for the guidance generously shared with me, from what I have seen as
descriptions on FOI site for

I. Lopanthoides - my specimen flowers are not white or rose but could be
best described as light blue.
- lower lip is not slightly... but much longer than upper
- stamen and styles do not protrude out of the mouth.

P. barbatus - on FOI it does not mention if the flowers are purple
flecked.
- also I do not know the meaning of upper lip short, 'turned back', mine
does not seem to be turned back... but then I also do not know what was
meant by the term
-Also did not look to me as 3-lobed like P. barbatus

On the other hand it did resemble a bit like Isodon rugosus but then I
could be well mistaken.....

Thanks again for the insights and learning which I am getting from you..
Sincerely with regards
Alok

Alok ji

Isodon rugosus is a much distinct species with densely wooly leaves and much smaller flowers, very lax inflorescence.

Thanks Gurcharan ji,
I see your point, and since you all have identified many more of this
species I think you'd know much more than me about this.... so
Plectranthus it is and as far as the species I think Prashant ji and you
would have the answer....
Thank you
Sincerely, regards
Alok

Leaves  of Coleus forskohlii I think are succulent and much different. I am uploading (without flowers) as labelled at Herbal Garden, Hamdard University, Delhi.
