How to identify Dysophylla tomentosa
Identify Dysophylla tomentosa 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: Tomentose (woolly, matted hairs).
- Confirm flower colour: Pink.
- Confirm flower arrangement: Spike (stalkless flowers along a stem).
- In India, compare location records such as Karnataka.
- Confirm it sits within the Lamiaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Dysophylla tomentosa.
