Dear members, I got confused between these two this time also, as I always was. So I decided to go deep into the subject. I could not find the description of Nanorrhinum incanum on the net anywhere except at Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas <http://books.google.co.in/books?id=akXKOaT69SwC&pg=PA59&lpg=PA59&dq=Kickxia+ramosissima&source=bl&ots=tnvP1RvwF6&sig=S6WAqH0lyUbR7BpXbcSWBvJwtZE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zKygUYz4IcqmrAfDq4H4Cg&ved=0CFYQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=Kickxia%20ramosissima&f=false> By Francis . Pennell (1943- Description & Keys- *Kickxia* *ramosissima, incana &* *subsessilis*). *As per description given above for both the species, there is much variation from each of them for our posts *at *Nanorrhinum incanum* (Wall.) Betsche <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/plantaginaceae/nanorrhinum/kickxia-incana> and *Nanorrhinum ramosissimum* (Wall.) Betsche <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/plantaginaceae/nanorrhinum/kickxia-ramosissima> *There seems to be no consistency w.r.t. hairiness of the plants *(as in *Nanorrhinum ramosissimum* (Wall.) Betsche <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/plantaginaceae/nanorrhinum/kickxia-ramosissima> whole plant including the external surface of the corolla is supposed to be glabrous).* I could not find upper lip purpluish in any of our observations *at *Nanorrhinum incanum* (Wall.) Betsche <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/plantaginaceae/nanorrhinum/kickxia-incana> and *Nanorrhinum ramosissimum* (Wall.) Betsche <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/plantaginaceae/nanorrhinum/kickxia-ramosissima> In one of our observations from Aurangabad, at ID21022014PHK1 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/05lcHKNC-9w>, I found spur to be different and purple spotting on the lips. As per Flora of Peninsular India <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8931&cat=7>, Nanorrhinum incanum is found only in Pune, Satara and Sindhugarh districts of Maharashtra in Peninsular India. Specimens in GBIF <https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=3737199> and details at Catalogue of Life <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/958674bbcb49d44e69686da8fb1b6842/synonym/28e365781139e356e3a652c9adf1125a> POWO <http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:914263-1> Annotated checklist of the flowering plants of Nepal <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242423669> for Nanorrhinum incanum did not help. Can anybody have keys of both species to know further differences, particularly Flora of Maharashtra or any other source? Awaiting for your valuable feedback. -- With regards, J.M.Garg
