Dear Kalakoti ji,

Thank you very much for your valuable response. I simply means that my plant is not Coleus rotundifolius that widely cultivated here for its tubers and the same is very close to my plant.

Kind regards,

Sam Kuzhalanattu.

Subject: Re: 743 ID wild plant Coleus non tuberous
Dear Sir,

Coleus is non tuberous also in South India, I have observed in Govanur (near Coimbatur) flower looks like coleus but leaves are not matching. May be Perilla, or plectranthus etc. pls confirm . Or Coleus from Sri lanka also not developing tubers.

Regards

Dr.B.S. Kalakoti
