It is not Barleria cuspidata. In B. cuspidata leaves are Ovate-elliptic. It is linear.

It shows close similarity to my new species B. tamilnadensis (in press) except in the flower colour.

It may be Barleria acanthoides. The key in the recent revision lead me to this id.
Ref.: Revision of the Genus Barleria (Acanthaceae) in India. By Shanksr & Yadav 2010.

Its nice to know about the new find, Prabhu. Congrats! I look forward to see your published paper...

Dear Prabhuji, Muthuji, Gibyji, Vijaysankarji and Gargji,
Thanks for your valuable feed back.
If I may say so, this apparently unusual plant indicates that there is so much need for extensive fieldwork to unearth all the existing species.
Regards
Dr Badri Narayanan

[Prabhu kumar KM]

Dear Vijayasankarji,

 

It is different from B. acanthoides from its appearance.

The plant height of this plant is upto 40 cm, leaves linear and petiole up to 0.2 or absent.

Thanks Prabhu for your opinion.
It doesn't look like B. noctiflora either. I look forward to know its id.

Thanks, Lalithamba ji.

You may be right as per images at Barleria cuspidata (However, colour is most yellow).
But earlier feedback as below creates doubt:

"It is not Barleria cuspidata. In B. cuspidata leaves are Ovate-elliptic. It is linear.

It shows close similarity to my new species B. tamilnadensis (in press) except in the flower colour.
