Doesn't Justicia have strongly two lipped corolla, Santhosh Sir?

Do you think this one is misidentified?

Please check the illustration at http://plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=130645 and at Ruellia tentaculata Nees.

Do you still think the plant in this thread is a Justicia?

Thank you

Haplanthus nilgherrensis fits perfectly sir. Maybe the accepted name is in doubt. But the illustration attached to the name Haplanthus nilgherrensis Wight is a match for me. Thank you very much.

Thank you Anurag Ji, please read, in my earlier reply, Ruellia tentaculata L., in place of R. tentaculata Nees, synonymous with Haplanthus tentaculatus Nees as per FBI.
