Strobilanthes attenuata ABAUG2019/01

Twice, my message was returned because it was above 8 MB in size. I had to remove the paper and several images to resend this. Hope this is still useful.

Thanks.

First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Garg for promptly taking up the case to check the entries for Strobilanthes. I had filed an erroneous identification in 2015, when I was still trying to fix an ID based on looking at photographs. However, my 2016 post here was sent by Mr. Garg to Dr. John Wood who not only corrected the ID, but kindly sent a pdf of his paper on S. attenuata in the Curtis's Botanical Magazine.

Following the paper, I have tried to gather the photo evidence to support the identification. I am including here photos showing different aspects of the plant. This is not yet complete as I do not have the seeds but I am hoping to overcome this in the next seeing season.

I am also including the paper here again (it was posted originally to the group by Dr. Wood) for reference. It's a large file and I apologise if this message is heavy with attachments.

All photos are from elevations of between 1750 and 1850m in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India, mostly in the month of August over the years.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Ashwini

Thanks, Ashwini ji.

Unprecedented and superb details.

You are too generous in your praise, Mr. Garg. I am still trying to make sense of all the diverse features identifying a single species and trying to correct my past mistakes.

Many thanks.
