[surajit koley]

This ornamental looks like the one in - http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Mexican%20Honeysuckle.html, but leaves are different from -

• http://www.klru.org/ctg/plant/name/Mexican_honeysuckle/
  
• even http://toptropicals.com/cgi-bin/garden_catalog/cat.cgi?uid=JUSTICIA_SPICIGERA
• http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=JUSP4
  
• http://ag.arizona.edu/pima/gardening/aridplants/Justicia_spicigera.html
  
• description of leaf size (the species in this thread has 15 cm or longer acuminate leaves) - http://www.public.asu.edu/~camartin/plants/Plant%20html%20files/justiciaspicigera.html

somewhat similar to -

Some more photos are attached here, recorded yesterday. The species might be Cyrtanthera ghiesbreghtiana Decne. (Justicia ghiesbreghtiana). If this could be a synonym of Justicia spicigera, i think, needs further exploration. Some interesting reading :-

Dear Garg Sir,

A few more links -

1. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/309371/
   
2. http://ag.arizona.edu/pima/gardening/aridplants/Justicia_spicigera.html

If i go by the above sites it is not J. spicigera.

But, it surely matches with https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/AYaajMJL66A/KRV5CFRSGRkJ and with https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/B3KAMcw5_4o/HSFNU8aAtNIJ

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit
