Garg ji The species was originally described from India by Bentham as V. laxa, Pennel thought it to to be a synonym of V. melissaefolia (now renamed melissifolia), a European species. Now since both GRIN and The Plant List recognise V. laxa Benth. as accepted name, the present status of V. melissifolia becomes irrelevant for Indian plants.
