(family: Lamiaceae; also placed in: Verbenaceae) Dear friends, these white coloured *negundo* flowers were a kind of change for me. I am familiar with the pale blue, lilac OR muave coloured ones which are common in Konkan and Sahyadri. The local folks at another place Bhedaghat call this plant *besharam* (lit. meaning: shameless) because it dominates, and seems to be growing everywhere.
