Thanks Saroj Ji.

Can be Dicliptera candicans?

Just a suggestion.

Dicliptera candicans is not listed either in POWO or CoL.

But it is Dicliptera or related genus only and not Justicia.

Garg Ji,

Many of the plants I have posted from Nairobi are clicked at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi.

So they may not be native ones.

I also think Dicliptera to be the closest.

Regards,

Aarti
