Sir,
I compared the specimen with the images of isotype of Strobilanthes
andamanensis at Kew and found different from it. The isotype of
Strobilanthes andamanensis at Kew (K000883177) received from Forest
Research Institute, Dehradun (No.9052) has been later identified as S.
glandulosus.

Strobilanthes glandulosa (sensu Anderson & Kurz) is an illegitimate later homonym of Strobilanthes glandulosa Blume. The correct name for this Andaman species is therefore Strobilanthes andamensis Bor

Joju Sir,

We would like to reexamine the specimen from Andaman Islands. This yellow-flowered Strobilanthesmay is not identical with Strobilanthes glandulosus Kurz, pl examine the number of ovules per ovary locule. Is it 6 per locule?

Thanks, Santhosh ji.

This plant belongs to the yellow-flowered "Sericocalyx" group of Strobilanthes, which consists of a small cluster of species including Strobilanthes scabra, S. phyllostachya, S. flava, S. andamensis (=S. glandulosa sensu Kurz, non Blume), S. crispa and a few others from Indonesia and SE Asia. The only native species on the Andamans is S. andamanensis. S. scabra and S. crispa are sometimes cultivated and the former seems to be naturalized in South India - it is native to and apparently endemic to the Bengal plains with Silhet as its type location. Its occurrence on the Andaman Islands is, therefore, unlikely unless it has been introduced and found near human settlements.

To identify the plant in the photo reliably I would need to see an image of the INSIDE of the calyx to see if the silky hairs characteristic of some species in this group are present. It would also be useful to confirm whether bracteoles are present or absent as also the number of seeds in the capsule as this can be important. S. andamanensis has characterically crenate-repand leaves and is reported to have a 2-seeded capsule. S. scabra has the calyx silky haired on the inside, a 4-seeded capsule and entire leaves. More information about its habitat would also be useful.

Regards

John Wood
