Thank you so much Dr. Gurcharan for all the details and links. Dave's garden also mentions all the three as Synonyms. I forgot to mention that this plant was also a display by MNP at Kalina campus.

I had posted similar plant and suspected it to be Coleus aromaticus or C. amboinicus. There were different comments on that: https://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#sent/1255c93615c77a12 Vijayadas ji suggested it be a species of Plectranthus, so did Pankaj Oudhia in separate post, but finally Pardeshi ji confirmed it as Coleus amboinicus, and we settled for that. Today I looked GRIN Database which considers Plectranthus amboinicus to be an accepted name and Coleus amboinicus as synonym. It is silent about Coleus aromaticus (not listed). Next I looked up KEW checklist, which also records Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. as accepted name and both Coleus amboinicus Lour. and Coleus aromaticus Benth. as synonyms. That settles our issue, both our plants are Plectranthus amboinicus, and that Vijayadas ji and Pankaj Oudyia ji were also right. http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/synonomy.do?accepted_id=157885&repSynonym_id=45846&name_id=157885&status=true with regards -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
