Peristophe paniculata

[Satish Phadke]

Peristophe paniculata from family :Acanthaceae
Actually the difference between Dicliptera and Peristrophe was troubling me for quite some time after some posts a month back.
I observed this small herb today morning in Kothrud, Pune.
On careful observation I could find following characters which are indicative of it being Peristophe paniculata.
Herb less than a meter tall. Stem 6 angled rough, Leaves ovate....may be densely lineolate opposite Hairy.
Flowers rosy in trichotomous cymes in large lax terminal panicles. Bracts linear.
Flowers bicalculate with distinct two lips.Corolla 1.2 cm. Stamens 2 filaments hairy.Style filiform stigma bifid.
Topic is open for discussion

Sorry a spelling mistake in the subject. It should read as Peristrophe paniculata

Dear all,

 

'Peristrophe paniculata' is called 'Kakjangha' 'काकजंघा' / 'Pittpapada' 'पित्तपापडा' in Marathi.
