Anurag Ji, If you have/going to have the monograph please skip the rest of the mail. ...... else -
I realize simply having a book is not sufficient for me to identify certain difficult species, that too unseen/unknown before. - problem areas of *Leucas eriostoma* According to the monograph Karnataka has two - *L. eriostoma* var. *eriostoma* and *L. e. *var. *lanata*. One KEY says *L. eriostoma* var. *eriostoma* should have two whorls at most (there are 3 whorls in 100001.jpg). But the description says whorls terminal & axillary, illustration shows one branch having three whorls. Calyx tube ribbed and hispid in the upper part *glabrous* in lower region (calyx in these pics are throughout hairy). Another KEY, where flowers are in more than two axillary whorls, informs - (i) calyx teeth stellately spreading, recurved = *L. stelligera* (ii) ....... erect or spreading but not stellately, not recurved = *eriostoma* var. *eriostoma* (longer leaves, whorls upto 2.5 cm.) and *eriostoma* var. *lanata* (having leaves upto 4 cm long, whorls upto 2cm diam.). - problem area of *L. stelligera* I am not sure if calyx teeth in your pics can be called stellately spreading (perhaps yes to certain degree) and recurved. As per the monograph *L. eriostoma* is not distributed in Maharashtra, as is *Leucas lanata* ! Why don't you check - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/m-Pw1IryaG8/MtyaXYOWqz4J?
