How to identify Leucas eriostoma var. eriostoma
Identify Leucas eriostoma var. eriostoma 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 arrangement: Spike (stalkless flowers along a stem).
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: July-March.
- Confirm it sits within the Lamiaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Leucas eriostoma var. eriostoma.
