Hi Prasant Ji.

As far as I know Ruellia tuberosa has glabrous leaves and introse stamen.

I your plant the leaves are hirsute and also has an extrose stamens. Which

makes me feel this is not Ruellia tuberosa. 

Thanks

Tanay

The following link will give you KEY to R. inundata

http://www.rsabg.org/documents/research/2007_mcdade_brittonia.pdf

This click gives field guide.

This page gives some info, the ventricose part of the flower looks more elongated (you may check Dave's also), one simple way to ascertain the id from some other in the clade is to check for obovoid fruit, which I fail to see here.

Thank you

regards

surajit
