How to identify Andrographis glandulosa
Identify Andrographis glandulosa by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.
- Look for a undershrub habit.
- Confirm leaf surface: Glabrous (smooth, hairless).
- Confirm flower colour: White.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: July-November.
- Confirm it sits within the Acanthaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Andrographis glandulosa.
