Thank you Garg ji for following up with the post for Id assistance. Attaching some more pictures of leaves and fruit. The stem is very hairy and nodes appear purplish. Can this be Ruellia tuberosa? Id help Surajit jis post https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/96UvTLMoWjg

After careful observation of many Ruellia specimens and photographs with me I doubted this plant shows more affinity towards Ruellia simplex,rather than to R. brittoniana. Expect the comments from other experts!

Good morning

May i know what are the differences between Ruellia simplex and R. brittoniana?

As per following sites they are synonyms, maybe one is illegitimate -

1. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2421719
   
2. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?455109
   
3. http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Plants-R.html
   

Leaves in Ruellia simplex seem to be more linear, as per following sites,  one or two images show a bit broader leaves too -

• http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Ruellia%20simplex/Main.html
  
• http://florida.plantatlas.usf.edu/SpecimenDetails.aspx?PlantID=1302
