Santhan ji, thank you for pointing this out. Usha di, I am pasting an earlier discussion below.
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/l/lamiaceae/leucas/leucas-lavandulifolia The calyx here (*Leucas lavandulifolia*) is characteristically very oblique at apex, 8-toothed; teeth irregular/ minute and the posterior teeth is the largest. In *L. aspera*, the calyx is slightly oblique at apex, 10-toothed; teeth unequal but not as above. Of course there are several other differences such as: hairs on the stems are deflexed in the former and they are spreading in the latter species. As per efi thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/Mw9xPaGHyu0> Looking similar to *L. aspera* in appearance but easily separated by less hairy stem and leaves, leaves remotely crenate, calyx tube faintly ribbed, pubescent, limb distinctly oblique with upper tooth much larger than others which are insignificant. Verticillasters are less dense In *L. aspera* stem is hispid, leaves crenale, calyx tube glabrous in basal part hispid in upper, limb slightly oblique with distinct sharp teeth, verticillasters very dense almost globose.
