Does not seem to match with images at Leucas aspera

Appears close to images images at Leucas eriostoma Hook.f. , but not found in Nepal.

This is the closed I could find as per comparative images in efi at ‎Leucas

To me it seems to be Leucas lanata.

FLOWERS OF THE HIMALAYA by Oleg Polunin and Adam Stainton refers ( page 328, se no- 1131 Plate no 104 ).

You are right.

Saroj ji's images matches with images of the same species in the following postings:

Kalatope id al020511a

Dear all, 

Thank you for the ID validation.

However, flowering period and the altitude differs according to FoN and book published 

in Nepal but matching altitude with FOI but flowering period differing slightly.

"Now only I noticed your mail.  I could not operate my rediffmail so long and now rediff gave me a chance to operate after paying.  So I opened it and fount your mail.  It is about the Leucas you had collected from Nepal, Gattiban 5 Oct 2017.  It is interesting I will once again check it but I found something new.  If you have specimen or about to collect anything please send it tome.

Dear Garg

It looks more close to Leucas hamiltoniana the correct name is Leucas montana.  Please see a type image I took from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

There are some variations on it, but could be assessed if only I receive specimens.  Is it possible to get some specimens ?

regards

Sunojkumar

Dear Sir

It is a tentative identification only.  I can confirm it if I see the specimen.  I find something interesting on it especially on the hairs.

Sunojkumar

[Saroj Kasaju]

Could it be Leucas decemdentata (Willd.) Sm., since Leucas montana (Roth) Spreng.

do not have distribution in Nepal.

I could not find another plant on my later visits.

Thank you.
