Thank you very much Garg ji for tirelessly resurfacing the unresolved queries.

Thank you very much Santhan ji and Muthu ji for suggesting the IDs.

I found botanical painting of Strobilanthes zenkeriana at Plant Illustrations ORG ... the leaves are kind of round rather than elliptical.

At India Nature Watch I found one closeup of Strobilanthus foliosus flowers, and hint of a leaf.

Let me check the descriptions and then come back to this post.

Regards.

Dear friends, Adding more photos with the hope that it helps in ID. These are cropped versions of the photos already put at the top of this thread. The oily sheen on the plant (especially seen on the leaves) is the deposit of fuel emission from vehicles.

Check for S.ciliatus as well

[Dinesh Valke]

Many thanks Garg ji for resurfacing this query, seemingly a different Strobilanthes.

Many thanks to Mahadeswara ji too for his thoughts. But I am sure this would not be S. ciliatus - which is relatively a small herb/subshrub growing under cover of evergreen forest with very small flowers.

Regards.
