Dear All

Pl. help me to identify the Attached Lepidagathis sp.

Erect herb- Flowers solitary in axle. Leaves entire with spiny tip. Bracts spiny. Flower cream colour.

Observed at Palladam, Tiruppur Dist, Tamilnadu on 19-07-15

Specimen do not match with L. faciculata due to absence of crenate leaves and short spike inflorescence.

It may not be L pungens - due to absence of spiny leaf margin.

May not be L.incurva due to absence of terminal short spike of inflorescence.

with regards.

Could it be Lepidagathis rigida?

Dear All

After detailed net perusal, the possible nearest match is Lepidagathis fasciculata (Retz.) Nees.

It is not L. fasciculata as the leaves in the posted pictures are spine-tipped.

I think it is Lepidagathis barberi as per GBIF- specimen 1 and specimen 2

Looks different from Lepidagathis rigida as per GBIF- specimen 1 and specimen 2

Yes Paradesi ji, Lepidagathis barberi Gamble is the accepted name with L. pungens Nees as its synonym.

Hi, Singh ji,

They may not be the same.

Copy of Taxonomy and lectotypification of Lepidagathis barberi (Acanthaceae), a steno-endemic species from Tamil Nadu, India may resolve the issue.
