Dear Mr. Valke, i never guess plants identity according to local names, as local names keep differing from place to place.. for eg. In Nasik 'Narkya' is Spermiodictyon sp. and Lantana is known by the name 'Gangutai'.
If you able to provide the pictures of Leaves and whole plant without zooming the structure, it should become easy to identify the plant, as there are very few species of Pogostemon.. regards, On Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 8:43 PM, Dinesh Valke <dinesh.va...@gmail.com>wrote: > Dear HS, ... the people of the spice farm are sure about the plant being * > patchouli*, only that they are not aware of the scientific name. > Patchouli, as such is associated with *Pogostemon cablin* (true > patchouli) and *P. heyneanus* (Indian patchouli). > No ruling out your guess HS -- do let me know if any one of *P. parviflora > * OR *P. pubescens* also share the patchouli name in any way. > > Regards. > Dinesh > > > > > On Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 3:56 PM, H S <hemsan...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I guess P. parviflora or P. pubescens???? wild guess, may be wrong >> >> >> On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 8:13 AM, Gurcharan Singh <singh...@gmail.com>wrote: >> >>> Here are my photographs of origano, a quite distinct plant >>> >>> >>> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Origanum$20vulgare/indiantreepix/tmW6jk3TLiM/Ob0OEEnLylsJ >>> >>> >>> >>> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Origanum$20vulgare/indiantreepix/gg7SMbNX1xw/2iF5aO99n_wJ >>> >>> >>> -- >>> Dr. Gurcharan Singh >>> Retired Associate Professor >>> SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 >>> Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018. >>> Phone: 011-25518297 Mob: 9810359089 >>> http://people.du.ac.in/~singhg45/ >>> >>> >>> On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:49 PM, Madhuri Pejaver <formpeja...@yahoo.com >>> > wrote: >>> >>>> Thanks Dineshji >>>> Will try the earliest, >>>> Madhuri >>>> >>>> *From:* Dinesh Valke <dinesh.va...@gmail.com> >>>> *To:* Madhuri Pejaver <formpeja...@yahoo.com> >>>> *Sent:* Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:03 PM >>>> *Subject:* Fwd: DV :: 29DEC12 - 0143 :: Pogostemon ¿ cablin / >>>> heyneanus ? at a spice farm, Goa >>>> >>>> Madhuri ji, forwarding this message for you to get the photos attached. >>>> Thanks in advance for the efforts. >>>> Regards. >>>> Dinesh >>>> >>>> >>>> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >>>> From: *Dinesh Valke* <dinesh.va...@gmail.com> >>>> Date: Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 9:39 PM >>>> Subject: DV :: 29DEC12 - 0143 :: Pogostemon ¿ cablin / heyneanus ? at a >>>> spice farm, Goa >>>> To: efloraofindia <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com> >>>> >>>> >>>> Dear friends ...
