How to identify Anisochilus verticillatus

Identify Anisochilus verticillatus by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.

  • Look for a herb habit.
  • Confirm leaf surface: Pubescent (softly hairy).
  • Confirm flower colour: Pink.
  • Confirm flower arrangement: Spike (stalkless flowers along a stem).
  • Confirm it sits within the Lamiaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Anisochilus verticillatus.
