Garg sir , Today I visited one spot where I had collected 2 and 3 . Thick vegetation post monsoon has become dry scrub . These plants have become stunted too . Still I could find them and photographed . It was very windy making a good shoot impossible for dissected parts . Still ... I found . . . 2 is erect , 3 is prostrate . Spike in 2 is little longer than 3 . Leaves more or less similar . In both posterior , sterile bracts are longer , pointed tip , have hyaline margins but less wide than anterior bracts , and it is row of two front fertile two back sterile. Spikes axillary , multiple in both . Flowers have corollla limb upper lip acute ,3 lobed lower lip, blue to purplish , size less than 3mm (2mm ), and hairy outer surface of lower lips ... in both . Images will be processed and presented tomorrow , hopefully , with few thoughts of mine .
