Distribution and habitat : Anisomeles 
inodora occurs in the northern Kimberley area 
of Western Australia, in coastal parts of the 
‘Top End’, Northern Territory, and throughout 
Cape York Peninsula in Queensland (Map 
7). It inhabits sandy soils in open eucalypt 
woodland and forest, and occasionally on 
sandstone outcrops. 
Phenology : Flowers from February to 
October; fruits from April to October. 
Notes : This species is allied to Anisomeles 
moschata, but differs by the shorter leaf hairs, 
the sparser indumentum on the lower leaf 
surface, the longer lower lip of the corolla, 
the glabrescent stems and calyces glabrous or 
with a few hairs along the ribs. 
Specimens from the Faura region of 
Queensland have particularly widely spaced 
flowers and fruits and quite narrow leaves, but 
from herbarium study, I am unsure whether 
there is a discontinuity between this form 
and typical A. inodora. Specimens from the 
Kimberley region of Western Australia also 
have widely spaced flowers and fruits and 
narrow leaves, and they have shorter calyx 
fringe-hairs than the typical form. Further 
study may reveal that a taxonomic distinction 
is warranted for these populations. 
Conservation status : Least Concern.
