Photographed Today from Vikas Puri, Delhi. Was growing outside a private house so could net dig out for possible tuberous roots. Bracts and bracteoles are definitely shorter than calyx lobes, flowers 5-6 cm long blue-mauve; plants hardly 50 cm tall, leaves 5-8 cm long, long hairy especially on petiole and young shoots, margin somewhat undulate with prominent veins. The plant resembles one depicted as Ruellia nudiflora at Flowers of India website. Please help in ID.

Many thanks Gurcharan ji for bringing up these two close species ... was not aware of Ruellia nudiflora being close to Ruellia tuberosa.
Regards.
