Dear friends,
Please help to know this ground-cover plant; the flower reminds me of Strobilanthes or Ruellia, but I could not come to any conclusion. The flower measures just about 10 - 12 mm across.

Dinesh Ji,
Not Hemigraphis Species?
Thought it was closer to Hemigraphis colorata.
I could be wrong.

Yes Aarti ji, Hemigraphis colorata is convincing. Hopefully someone comments and resolves between Hemigraphis colorata and Strobilanthes dyerianus.
Regards.

Dinesh Ji,
Strobilanthes dyerianus is very different.
The one posted is like a ground cover.
I have posted Strobilanthes dyerianus earlier.
Common name Persian Shield.
