Thanks, Dr. Wood. I request Lalithamba ji to clarify his queries. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Wood Date: 4 September 2016 at 00:00 Subject: Re: Stenosiphonium confertum Nees To: "J.M. Garg" <[email protected]>
I have not had the chance to look for this at Kew. Equally Lalithamba Avadhanam has not answered my query about gland dots. Regards John Wood ------------------------------ *From:* J.M. Garg <[email protected]> *Sent:* 03 September 2016 11:18 *To:* efloraofindia *Cc:* Lalithamba Avadhanam *Subject:* Fwd: Stenosiphonium confertum Nees Forwarding again for Id assistance please. Some earlier relevant feedback: I am not sure what this is but the leaf shape and bracts don't look right for Strobilanthes cordifolia. There are several 2-stamened Strobilanthes species around Strobilanthes cuspidata such as S. humilis. It might be worth looking at these. The leaf shape looks distinct. I might have a look in the Kew herbarium when I am next there. Are the leaves with gland dots on the lower (abaxial) surface? John Wood Does not seem to match with any of the aomparative images of the species so far in efi at Strobilanthes <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/strobilanthes> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: J.M.
