Dear members, Species and distribution as per Flora of Peninsular India is given below:
*Angelonia biflora* <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8901&cat=7> (Cultivated in Gardens)- AP, Telangana, TN, Odisha and Karnataka *Angelonia gardneri* <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8902&cat=7>- Karnataka- Shivamogga district *Angelonia salicariifolia*- <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8903&cat=7> Kerala- Idukki district I tried to find differences on the net, but unable to find any where. This makes confusion between the two all the more apparent. JSTOR Global Plants <https://plants.jstor.org/compilation/angelonia.biflora> says that *Angelonia biflora *Benth. has been misidentified as *A. salicariifolia *Humb. & Bonpl., *A. goyazensis *Benth. and A. grandiflora Morren. I also strongly feel for this. There has been lot of misidentifications also on the net. Flora of Peninsular India gives distribution in hundreds of districts in India, but only one district for *Angelonia gardneri* <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8902&cat=7> and *Angelonia salicariifolia* <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8903&cat=7> It is also understandable as there are lot of variations, being planted in the gardens. Thus, I think we should take all our observations under *Angelonia salicariifolia* ? <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/plantaginaceae/angelonia/angelonia-salicariaefolia> as *Angelonia biflora* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/plantaginaceae/angelonia/angelonia-biflora>, until there is more clarity in the matter. -- With regards, J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1> Winner of Wipro-NFS Sparrow Awards 2014 for efloraofindia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/award-for-efloraofindia>.
