Flower suggests Ruellia brittoniana (Acanthaceae), but the leaves appear too broad. Perhaps another species?

Welcome Ken

It is Ruellia tuberosa. The mature seed pods in contact with water burst out & scatter the seeds far & away. Whike exploding they make "Pitt" noise. As children we used to collect the pods & put them in water & watch them bursting with glee.

I was to mention the same thing as Nandan has already done. I remember during my childhood one seed jumped and went into my eye when a whole lot were put in water. No damage done.
