Hello all I have colleted this plant from Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, Jalna, Beed, and Jalgaon. and i found it to be Andrographis echioides (Indoneesiella echinoides). the plant is densely hairy and with 4-nate branching right from base to apex.
the other species i got is a glabrous plant and much slender than this which is Andrographis paniculata (common names: The Create, Kalmegh, Kreat, Kalpa, Kalameti.). here the plant in question is certainly Andrographis echioides (Indoneesiella echinoides). regards Satish Pardeshi Consultant Taxonomist CDAC, Pune On Sep 21, 7:54 pm, "J.M.
