Actually the Leucas group for India is done by Dr. V. Singh. Dr. Sunoj also worked for Peninsular India. The former published Leucas of India in J Econ Taxon Bot Addl series. I have checked the keys in V. Singh's work and found Dr. Gurucharan provided characters are tallying mainly the size of the calyx lobe and indumentum characters important to distinguish this species. Better follow what Gurucharanji provided key characters.Sampath KumarFrom: Gurcharan Singh <singh...@gmail.com>Sent: Wed, 06 May 2015 08:57:11 To: surajit koley <surajitnotavaila...@gmail.com>Cc: efloraofindia <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com>Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:222891] Lamiaceae (inc. Verbenaceae) Fortnight: Lamiaceae - Leucas aspera (Willd.) Link Assam – KD 11 MAY 2015 These repeat episodes are meant for this purpose only, rechecking and improving upon identifications. Your first plant earlier identified as L. aspera I think is L. ciliata (I have written in that thread also) with very long calyx lobes, strongly hispid. Your L. lavandaefolia I think is very distinct in lacking long hairs on calyx and upper calyx lobe being much longer than others as also very weakly crenate repand leaves. I hope Sampath ji will help us in resolving the issue.
