 This tree is the official floral emblem of Hong Kong and it is widely
 cultivated in tropical regions. It is thought to be an accidental hybrid
 between B. purpurea and B. variegata. It was first discovered on the
 seashore in Hong Kong in 1908 and named after Sir Henry Blake, Governor of
 Hong Kong from 1898 to 1903. After the handing back of the colony to China,
 a special award was created to replace the British Imperial honours. The
 award is called the Grand Bauhinia Medal, or GBM for short. A small
 evergreen tree to around 7m tall. The bilobed leaves are dark green and
 shiny, with raised yellowish-green veins. Compared to other Bauhinias, the
 leaves of this one are huge, six to eight inches. The large, orchid-like
 flowers are rich magenta purple with paler veins, and the uppermost petal
 is darker towards the base. Flowers appear from February to November, with
 the peak flowering time in September to October. This bauhinia is sterile
 and rarely produces the large flat seed pods seen on other species.

Sir ji,
Salvia leucantha came to my mind too.
Remember I had photographed it in Peradeniya Gardens, Sri Lanka and
you had identified it?

2012-01-30 Thread Dinesh Valke
My misinterpretation Giby ji. Standing corrected.
My posted plant looks quite similar to the plant you attached for
comparison.
Thus would my plant be P. heyneanus ? ... OR yet I may be mistaking.

 Dear Dinesh ji,

 Please consider the inflorescence as a whole, rather than considering part
 of it. Here you are mentioning only the branches/part of the inflorescence.
 In the main branch of the inflorescence the clusters cover the whole stem.
  But, in inflorescence branches, the clusters are not clearly facing one
 side as that of the real one sided inflorescence but are covering 2/3rd of
 the stem, I guess. This is why I idied this as *P.heyneanus.** *My
 pictures are of from same plant and same inflorescence the terminal
 inflorescence and lateral ones are slightly different in terms of round and
 one sided clusters.

 In this regard, the key and the description in Gamble is bit confusing and
 sometimes difficult to reach a conclusion between *P. paniculatus and P.
 heyneanus. *

 Please find attached herewith the key and description as seen in Gamble
 flora (sorry for the poor quality as I have taken the pictures using my
 mobile camera that I am not familiar with). In the description please read
 the first four lines under *P. paniculatus. *

 Thanks and Regards,
 Giby

 HS, have added more attachments; these are cropped versions of earlier

 Hopefully, this may help us.

 Giby ji, many thanks for the information regarding cultivation and use in
 Kerala.
 The key character *Pogostemon heyneanus* flower clusters : *not one sided
 * in the spike, globose, single or in pair floral leaves are present.

 However in the attachments, unless I am misinterpreting, _GIB2769.jpg
 seems to clearly show the inflorescence facing one side.

 Similar observation can be made in my attachments too:

 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..

 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.
