[J.M. Garg]

Can it be from Ocimum or some other close genus.

[J.M. Garg]

A reply from Sampath ji:

"From the photos it seems to be Ocimeae group, but in labiatae based on photo it is difficult to identify even genus level as dissecting of flower is required for character verification, and most of the labiates morphologically similar with bilabiate corolla!!!! Sampath Kumar"

Thanks, Sampath Kumar ji.

[Saroj Kasaju]

ID still pending !

[Anil Thakur]

It is some Ocimum species.

Leaves shown in last 2-3 photographs are of some different plant, may be Bidens species.

Regards

[Anil Thakur]

Leaves of Ocimum are also visible in the background.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Anil ji. 

I agree with you. That may be causing confusion in I'd. 

[Anil Thakur]

Yes, Garg ji

Plant growing in the foreground is causing  confusion. The photographs of leaves  are only of the foreground plant.

Plant with Flowers is  Ocimum species.

Revards

[Saroj Kasaju]

I think confusion created because of leaves may be of 

other plant entangled. Enclosing some images of other

plant shot at the same time same location.

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[V. Sampath Kumar]

From the flower characters it is of Ocimum species, I am afraid based on this photo species id could not be made.

Sampath Kumar


Thanks for not printing this e-mail unless you really need to

[Mahadeswara]

Leaves also resemble some species of Hyptis. Also check for H.mutabilis.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Mahadeswara ji. 

[Saroj Kasaju]

Dear all,

Only Hyptis suaveolens (L.) Poit. is listed in Nepal. 

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=116280

As such I am skeptical about the ID . 

Thank you.
