Thanks a lot, Dr. wood, for the details. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: John Wood Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2019 at 14:46 Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:323114] Strobilanthes hamiltoniana To: J.M. Garg <[email protected]>
I think this is Strobilanthes hamiltoniana BUT it is cultivated or, at least naturalized from a cultivated plant. Wild Strobilanthes hamiltoniana usually has white or white flushed lilac flowers but I have been sent photos of a wild pink flowered form from Arunachal Pradesh or Assam. I presume the pink flowered form was taken into cultivation in the Howrah Botanical Garden sometime in the 19th century. It was then propagated by cuttings and is now the form seen in conservatories and gardens in Europe, North America, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa and elsewhere. These pink-flowered forms do not form fruits - hence propagation by cuttings - but are easily spread. The plant is reported to be invasive on the island of Reunion, where the plant is spread by cattle, which break off shoots which then regenerate. Some of these comments require references but this is the situation as far as I am aware. Regards John Wood ------------------------------ *From:* J.M.
