Flora of British India also mentions two other varieties as below: Rungia parviflora var. muralis (Nees) C.B.Clarke <https://flora.indianbiodiversity.org/content/rungia-parviflora-var-muralis-nees-cbclarke>
*Spikes very dense, barren bracts ovate acute hardly longer than the fertile*. R. muralis, Nees in DC. Prodr. xi. 470. S. Deccan Peninsula ; Hohenacker, n. 18, &c. Chittagong ; J. D. H., &c. Distrib. Ava. *Spikes sometimes 1.3/4 by 1/6 in., densely strobiliform*. Rungia parviflora var. origanoides (Nees) C.B.Clarke <https://flora.indianbiodiversity.org/content/rungia-parviflora-var-origanoides-nees-cbclarke> Leaves narrowly lanceolate, spikes dense narrow, barren bracts orbicular scarious-margined very hairy on the back nearly as the fertile. R. origanoides, Nees in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. iii. 110, and Cat. 7182, and in DC. Prodr. xi. 471. Pegu ; Wallich.
