Please refer to Cooke"s Flora

Barleria prionitis L. : leaves elliptic, acuminate bristle-tipped; bracteoles linear-subulate; flowers spicate above

Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees: leaves subsessile, oblong-lanceolate, acute, bristle-tipped; bracteoles zero or a few minute bristles; flowers solitary in opposite axils.

Hence it can be comfortably said to be Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees

Dear All,

I want to go with Barleria prionitis because Leaves mostly up to 8 x 3 cm, rarely up to 17 x 6 cm, glabrous, younger ones occasionally stellate tomentose. Flowers 2.5-4 cm long; bracteoles 10-15 mm long. Sepals lanceolate, as long as bracteole. Corolla pubescent externally. Anthers 2-3 (-3.5) mm long.

Regards

Tanay
