Thank you Dr Wood for explaining this and for the research article. Being a novice I am sometime afraid that I would not understand a scientific research piece but I greatly enjoyed reading yours.

ABJUL01/39 To: "J.M. Garg" <[email protected]> Your plant is Strobilanthes attenuata. Note the cordate leaves with winged stalk and paniculate inflorescence. Please read the article on Strobilanthes attenuata in the attached publication. regards John Wood ------------------------------ *From:* J.M.

ABJUL01/39 Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please. Some earlier relevant feedback: Looking at the plant closely and consulting Col. Collett (*Flora Simlensis*), I am now of the opinion that this plant is *Strobilanthes atropurpureus*. I am putting additional photos here to illustrate why; 1. The stalks are square and deeply furrowed. 2. The lower leaves have winged stalks and the upper ones almost sessile. 3. Leaves vary in size on the same plant and are sharply toothed. 4. Bracts are persistent. I can also see that one of the sepals is longer than the other four, which Col. Collett doesn’t mention. I recall Dr Wood mentioning that as a characteristic of *S. penstemonoides *in another thread. Please advise if I am again wrong in identifying this as *S. atropurpureus*. Thanks. Ashwini Thank you Mr Garg. I am afraid I may still be wrong in identifying this. *S. wallichii* and *S. urticifolia* share similar traits.

ABJUL01/39 To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> I have been confusing several bluebell species found here. I am not sure if this one which started flowering a week ago is *Aechmanthera gossypina*. I will be grateful for a proper key. Please advise. *Aechmanthera gossipina*—Blue Trumpet Bush? Above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, HP 1800m 18, 22 July 2016 Thanks.
