Was it cultivated or wild ?

To me also appears close to images at Strobilanthes hamiltoniana, but I am not sure.

I think this is Strobilanthes hamiltoniana BUT it is cultivated or, at least naturalized from a cultivated plant.

Wild Strobilanthes hamiltoniana usually has white or white flushed lilac flowers but I have been sent photos of a wild pink flowered form from Arunachal Pradesh or Assam. I presume the pink flowered form was taken into cultivation in the Howrah Botanical Garden sometime in the 19th century. It was then propagated by cuttings and is now the form seen in conservatories and gardens in Europe, North America, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa and elsewhere. These pink-flowered forms do not form fruits - hence propagation by cuttings - but are easily spread. The plant is reported to be  invasive on the island of Reunion, where the plant is spread by cattle, which break off shoots which then regenerate.

Some of these comments require references but this is the situation as far as I am aware.

Regards

John Wood

Thanks a lot, Santhosh ji.

Hello,

i don't know if it's cultivated. I think rather than it's escaped from a nearby garden...
Next to there is a botanical garden (spices graden).
Thank you all.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Marc ji.
