This could be a Lepidagathis species.

... this looks very similar to Phaulopsis imbricata seen at Coorg ... http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314344%40N00&q=Phaulopsis+imbricata&m=text

[Dinesh Valke]

... must add that while it looks similar to Phaulopsis imbricata, Pravin ji's plant is certainly different.

Assuming the size of the flowers as 2 cm I guess this to be
Dyschoriste vagans (Wight) O. Ktze. of Acanthaceae. Regards, Shrikant

Can anyone please share a picture of Lepidagathis fasciculata? I still think it is L. species.

The corolla should be distinctly bi-lipped to be species of
Lepidagathis.

Here the corolla is not bi-lipped hence not a species of
Lepidagathis.

The distinction between Dyscoriste and Phaulopsis is too difficult
without having the specimen in hand as most of the key characters are
minute and are not visible in pictures (placenta, bracteoles, etc).

But considering one distinguishing character, according to Gamble, I
think this is Phaulopsis imbricata with slight difference from
specimens from further south.

The distinguishing character is, according to Gamble, in Dyscoriste
the flowers are produced in axillary clusters here it is apparently
terminal.

Furhter, D vagans has blue flowers according to Gamble!

Again, the character of flower becoming scarious (Thin, membranous,
and dry) upon age is visible in the second picture, I assume.

Now my bet is for Phaulopsis imbricata.

Ref: Flora of Presidency of Madrass by Gamble pp. 1003-1068.

Gamble mentioned P. imbricata with its present synonym Micranthes
oppositifolius.

Thanks and Regards,
Giby

Thanks for the good research, Giby. Its getting interesting...
But, Phaulopsis imbricata has characteristic, closely overlapping bracts and white flowers. Pl see http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Himalayan%20Ruellia.html
The posted pictures look different from Dyschoriste vagans in this FoI link http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Wandering%20Snakeherb.html The ventricose corolla is clearly seen in the close-up shot. And the inflorescence also looks different.
My guess is Lepidagathis scariosa, but it needs confirmation.
So.....is the search still on?!
-------
Dinesh ji, a web search for Phaulopsis imbricata took me to your link http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5593762443/lightbox/ which looks like a Lepidagathis species to me. Pl correct me if i am wrong.

Many thanks Vijayasankar ji for validating the plant at my photostream.
It is new to me and am not familiar to either Phaulopsis OR Lepidagathis.

You may not be wrong.
Gurumurthi Hegde (Parjanya Guru at eFI) had suggested the ID at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5593765387/


Vijayasankar ji, please look at other views of the plant (whenever); perhaps will help in thrashing ambiguity.

Thank you Vijay for the reply.  Phaulopsis shows great variation from place to place. 

Then I would like to know one important character of the given plant that whether the inflorescence has bracteoles or not. 

My conclusion is; 

If bracteoles present then, Lepidagathis and it can be L. scariosa

If not then, Phaulopsis. 

I too think that Dinesh jis picture in the link given by Vijay is Lepidagathis (from the pattern of inflorescence) If get a close up of flower then things would be better. Herbs are tricky and the keys to id them are too tricky and complicated. 

I think Prawin ji can clarify on this aspect for us, if possible. 

Thanks and Regards

Giby

Dear Vijay, 

As you said "But, Phaulopsis imbricata has characteristic, closely overlapping bracts and white flowers." I too think that the bracts here are different from that of Phaulopsis. 

Let us see whether Pravin ji could collect information on bractioles. 

If that is clarified, I think, we can confirm. 

Regards,

[Giby Kuriakose]

Dear Dinesh ji,

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5593744043/

The plant in the above link could be Lepidagathis spinosa. 

Regards,

Giby

Many many thanks Giby ji ... noted your comment at flickr too.
