Butterfly Bush Purple
Scientific name to confirm
No scientific name given. 'Butterfly bush' with purple flowers in Costa Rican gardens most often refers to a porterweed (Stachytarpheta cayennensis or S. jamaicensis, Verbenaceae), while the Spanish name recorded, 'Rabo de alacrán' (scorpion's tail), is usually applied to Heliotropium species (Boraginaceae), which have white flowers. GBIF vernacular-name records for both Stachytarpheta species do not include 'rabo de alacrán', so the identity could not be confirmed from allowed sources. Needs inspection of the plant before a species is assigned.
