Dear Dr. Wood,

These two posts are the same images wrongly posted twice and differently identified.
Could you please look into this ?

Thank you.

Yes Dr. Wood. I am aware of S. lamiifolia and think it should be the correct ID !

Thank you.

Dear Saroj

Lookng again at the photos, I can exclude Strobilanthes pentstemonoides. S. pentstemonoides should have a glabrous corolla (Yours is hairy) and very unequal leaves (Yours are nearly equal in each pair). Your plant clearly has unequal sepals (one longer than the others) and a bent corolla. Amongst the best possibilities from the Kathmandu region there is Strobilanthes lamiifolia. Do you know this species. Flowers are usually in a distinctively bracteate head (the bracts are foliose not scarious as in S. pentstemenoides) but the bracts fall). It usually grows in relatively dry Himalayan valleys at around 1000-1800 m. I think your plant might be this species.

Best wishes

John

I am not sure I can resolve this. The inflorescence looks like S. pentstemoinides but the leaves (isophyllous) are equal and this suggests another species possibly bracteata. Does Saroj have a photo of the whole plant? 

If it is from the Kathmandu valley area it is most likely to be pentstemonoides. Of from western Nepal, possibly S. bracteata.

Best regards

Dear Dr. Wood,

It is from Jumla, West Nepal. If you open the enclosed links you can see
7/8 images including the whole plant.

Thank you.

Dear Saroj

I have found it found it. It looks like Strobilanthes bracteata being isophyllous with a pubescent corolla.

Regards
