Rama tulasi and Krishna tulasi are the same varieties of ocimum sanctum, however some say Rama tulasi is ocimum canum(even i've mentioned this in my post)while others say ocimum canum is van tulasi/wild basil. Yep American nurseries don't usually have the Indian varieties of Tulasi but they do have the Italian varieties which are used for culinary purposes. hope this helps..... thanks once again for your appreciation :-) Thanks Kanan.

They say one should always wear the necklace of tulasi. That is to make sure in case we have to leave this life and go to God's home, because we are accompanied by tulasi, God will accept us [because like you said, "the worship of Vishnu is never complete without being offered Tulasi"]. Btw, in Gujarat, we have what we call Krishna tulasi and Raam tulasi. One having a darker red/brown colored stems where as the latter having a light green colored stems. Any ideas about the English names of those? I am yet to find tulasi plants in American nurseries. Here only the Indian stores have them. Excellent write up!
