Neha, why not Crossandra infundibuliformis?

Dr. Pankaj, both the leaves and the flower of C. nilotica differ
from Crossandra infundibuliformis.
For comparison I m posting both plant pics ( in a new message).

Neha

Taking it as Crossandra infundibuliformis, in view of Varun ji's remarks in Crossandra nilotica and Crossandra infundibuliformis
