Appraisal of Seedling Morphology in relation to Taxonomy of Coleus amboinicus

Author(s) Dr. Seema Anand
Country India
Abstract This paper provides information on morpho taxonomic observations of juvenile stages and seedlings in Coleus ambonicus Wall. ex Benth. Seedling morphology was observed upto 5th leaf stages. Morphological features of seedling like collet, hypocotyle, epicotyle, shape and arrangement of paracotyledons, leaf base, colour, phyllotaxy, number of veins etc. represent high level of constansy within taxon and, thus, have been found useful from taxonomic point of view in identification and eradication of weed at juvenile stage. Coleus amboinicus is a species of semi- succulent, perennial plant in the family Lamiaceae. It has a pungent Oregano like flavor and odor. Coleus amboinicus is considered to be native to parts of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and India, although it is widely cultivated and naturalized elsewhere in the tropics where it is used as a spice and ornamental plant. Coleus amboinicus (also known as Indian Borage, Cuban Oregano, or Mexican Mint) is a fleshy, aromatic perennial herb in the mint family (Lamiaceae), prized for its oregano-like flavor and pungent scent, used in cooking, traditional medicine (for coughs, colds, digestion), and as an ornamental plant, with its distinctive fuzzy leaves easily rooting to spread, making it a popular addition to herb gardens in tropical climates. The species epithet, amboinicus refers to Ambon Island, in Indonesia. In 1747, 45 years after his death, a volume written by Georg Eberhard Rumphius was published, including the plants he called Marrubium album Amboinicum, with the local name Daun hati hati. He had encountered them in Ambon and the Banda Islands, both cultivated in gardens and growing wild. In 1790, the Linnaean name Coleus amboinicus was published by João de Loureiro (1717–1791) who had encountered the plants in Cochinchina and parts of India.
