Mahadeswaraji you are right there is lot of confusion even in my search i was just talking about my experience from planting these plants and using for puja aaaaand eating Rama ( labelled Ocimum sanctum) and Krishna tulasi ( labelled O. tenuiflorum) plants labelled when purchased at the Agri-Horticulture Garden kolkata
I keep reading the pharmacognosy papers from ayurvedic folks and they give very confusing nomenclature and ideas just like this paper please try to make sense of this http://ijpjournal.com/bft-article/ocimum-sanctum-a-medicinal-gift-from-nature/?view=fulltext == *More heartening news is* atleast to my mind that these two plants should be separated by their chemical constituents and so by inference... in their genetic make up O ne molecular biology testing study from 2015 is suggesting at least that these may be typed as two separate *subtypes.* because they found that the Krishna tulsi had different up and down regulated genes compared to Rama tulsi I quote " The differentially expressed genes found in the transcriptomes of both the Tulsi subtypes were analysed. We observe a substantial number of genes up-regulated and down-regulated in Krishna Tulsi, compared to Rama Tulsi." end quote through out the results one finds other difference in the two subtypes URL for this paper is : https://bmcplantbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12870-015-0562-x == to my mind this is progress of sorting these two plants .
