It looks like an Acanthaceae member, may be Andrographis?

In the second photo, one vegetative part with oval shaped leaves is present along with some Hydrocotyle  species, Is it the part of this Acanthaceae?

[Saroj Kasaju]

Only one Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees is listed in Nepal

but but does not seem matching. 

Thank you.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Girish ji.

[Saroj Kasaju]

No it is not from the same plant !

Thank you.

This is one of the Strobilanthes spp., frequent in middle hills. Sometimes leaves and young branches turn purplish brown.

Garg ji, I feel it is some Acanthaceae member, may be Strobilanthes which have flowering twigs of previous growing season.

I agree that it is probably a species of Strobilanthes but would not like to guess which one. Saro, do you know what species grow in the vicinity?

Have a look at Strobilanthes lachenensis. Is that a possibility?

Dear Saroj Kasaju

A friend has just shown me images of Strobilanthes lachenensis with the same dark purplish winter leaves so I guess this evidence gives added support to the suggestion that the plant in your images is Strobilanthes lachenensis.

Best regards

John
