Leucas flagellifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is endemic to Socotra.[2] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.[1] The scientific name has been misspelt as Leucas flagellifolia.

Taxonomy

[edit]

Leucas flagellifera was first described by Max Gürke in 1883 as Lasiocorys flagellifera and transferred to the genus Leucas by Isaac Bayley Balfour in 1884.[3][4] The 2004 IUCN Red List correctly gives the basionym as Lasiocorys flagellifera but misspells the accepted name as Leucas flagellifolia.[1]
