... many thanks for correcting the name, Pankaj.
There are so many sites which are putting it as Strobilanthes callosus including NPGS / GRIN  ... that Strobilanthes callosa would pass as a typo !!

Regards.

[Pankaj Kumar]

Dear Dinesh Sir,

Unfortunately, all those sites are giving wrong info. I checked. Not a
big deal. I think people assumed that genus is ending with 's' so the
species should also end that way, but the fact is genus ends with "es"
which has a different gender than "s" or "us".

The image of original description attached from volume 3 page no. 85
of Plantae Asiaticae rariores, or, Descriptions and figures of a
select number of unpublished East Indian plants /by N. Wallich. Which
is most authentic info in the world for this particular taxa.

Do you want me to translate in latin?

Regards
Pankaj

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear Pankaj ... no need to translate at all !! ... bringing the error to notice is much more than sufficient.
Many thanks once again.

[Pankaj Kumar]

Always at your service sir!! :)
