Ruellia is what came to my mind too.

Let us wait for other comments & correct id.

even to me look like Ruellia, habit and leaf structure will help in correct id..

Some feedbcak from another post:

"This and my earlier post, both have been identified as being the same by Rawat Ji..

In the earlier post, the flowers were single, where as there were many growing on one stem here.

Experts, kindly have a look.

Aarti"

Saroj Ji,

Thanks for the suggested id.

I suppose Rawat Ji is familiar with the Flora of Uttarakhand area since he belongs to the place.

Regards,

Aarti

I think it looks different from Ruellia prostrata as per images and details herein.

The Closest I can go is Ruellia tuberosa, but I am doubtful about this too, in view of only flowers and no leaves.

Hi, Aarti ji,

Pl. post high resolution images.

Pl. see another image and discussions on the same plant at Acanthaceae Fortnight : Dipteracanthus prostratus : Uttarakhand : 31MAR15 : AK-49

I checked all species mentioned in FLOWERING PLANTS OF INDIA, DICOTYLEDONS, Vol-I (Acanthaceae-Avicenniaceae) authored by S. Karthikeyan, M. Sanjappa and S. Moorthy and published by BSI, Kolkata in 2009, as available at Ruellia, in GBIF (specimens not available for Ruellia malabarica Kostel. and Ruellia cernua Roxb. and R. sivrajanii Sreedevi & Binojk.)

https://www.gbif.org/species/5575211

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=5576369

I think R. ciliatiflora Hook. looks close as per GBIF- specimen.

However, Catalogue of Life and POWO do not give any distribution in India.

I don't think so.

Attached are images of Ruellia ciliatiflora as I know it - But these are not from India so not suitable for your data base!
