How to identify Gomphostemma keralensis

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

  • Confirm leaf surface: Pubescent (softly hairy).
  • Confirm flower colour: White.
  • In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: October-November.
  • Confirm it sits within the Lamiaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Gomphostemma keralensis.
