Respected my teachers in this group, I am totally confused.
As per Flora of China (my only latest source of information are these efloras, and I have been told by Gurcharan Sir that we can rely on them mostly ) :- plants hispid, *calyx slightly oblique at mouth......... = KEY 7* there are two species under KEY-7 = *L. aspera* & *L. zeylanica*. FoC thinks, in *L. aspera*, *calyx* tubular....... slightly hispid or sub-glabrous at base, otherwise *densely hispid outside*, mouth oblique... teeth straight ... *apex spinescent* There are many pics of *L. aspera* in the net, I am not to judge who is correct and who is not, one person, from Indonesia, follows the above description - https://www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/4290631956/, I think. I am really sorry that I have failed and I still fail to see the above features in the set of photographs submitted in this thread. I will deal with *Leucas ciliata* in my own thread. As I said I am very much confused. I am not sure if I should accept the ID of this species as *Leucas aspera* or I should wait for another *repeat episode*. Thank you all for your kind teaching.
