This is Strobilanthes tomentosa (Nees) J.R.I. Wood which is the correct name for Aechmanthera gossypina.

Uploading from Tiger Fall area of Chakrata-GSAUG02 To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> I post in Indian Flora and identified as Aechmanthera gossypina led me to scrutinize my files and those in our database. I found that there are two populations identified in my Chakrata collections, one from Mussoorie Chakrata Road which I unfortunately I uploaded as Aechmanthera gossypina but is actually Strobilanthus, and second from Tiger Fall Area of Chakrata, which is real Aechmanthera gossypina, differentiated by by narrower lanceolate upper leaves, its light blue flowers, smaller in size, usually not longer than 2.5 cm, in one sides clusters in a panicle and linear capsule. My earlier upload as Aechmanthera may be Strobilanthes, perhaps S. glutinosus because of petioled leaves, foliaceous looking persistent bracts although calyx is not glandular pubescent. Pl. suggest ID https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Aechmanthera/indiantreepix/tn-8hMg-AJ4/D2JnoLo4VhAJ The upload by Balkar ji from Chakrata road as Aechmanthera gossypina, to me appears a Strobilanthes dalhousieanus. pl. validate. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Aechmanthera/indiantreepix/25NCwbKe4p8/aYEL4JtAUrkJ The upload by Ushaprabha ji may also be some species of Strobilanthes-pl validate https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/DpefAeCXjpE And finally upload on Flowers of India by Balkar ji may be similar to mine and may be similarly S. glutinosus, because it also has dark blue flowers unlike true Aechmanthera gossypina Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
