Strobilanthes spp. for identification, Kindly Help!

[Nishant Chauhan]

Respected members, 

I'm attaching a few pictures of Strobilanthes sp. which looks very similar to Strobilanthes tomentosa, I checked a few available pictures on the group but I'm not sure if it's really S. tomentosa or some other species.

Dear Members, I also saw an abstract of the paper in 'The Indian Forester' mentioning that "S. tomentosa has a gregarious flowering cycle of 12 years" Can someone kindly confirm that it has a flowering cycle of 12 years?  

Filed Observations: 5-7 feet tall multi-branched perennial bush growing on rocky landforms in both semi-shades and sun-faced moist slopes. Leaves are opposite, thick and leathery. Blue-colored flowers in bunches.

I photographed it in the Bilaspur district(Alt. 800mt.) of Himachal Pradesh in the First week of October 2023.

With regards,

Nishant Chauhan

Yes I think this Strobilanthes tomentosa (Nees) J.R.I.Wood. It is quite variable but this seems to fit okay.
