Krishnaa and Gaura (meaning a lady of fair skin)are the names given by village folk for Purple and Green Tulsi respectively ...and Tulsi is considered as avatar of Goddess Lakshmi , hence the feminine names . For record , Ram and Krishna , both are described as dark skinned . Vernacular and popular names lead to confusion , I avoid them and that irks my family and friend alike . Names aside , what morphological differences have been observed apart from color ?
