identification no 171111sn2:
This has been tentatively identified as Justicia sp.. Generally Justicia procumbens are pink, though I found a few white sp. on the net. Could this be Justicia procumbens or otherwise. Kindly validate. Taken at Mulshi, Pune in Sept.


White flowered forms are quite common among the population. So better consider it as a variant

Kas Week :: DV :: 28 SEP 08 – 1214 :: ¿ Rostellularia procumbens ?:
Kas plateauabout 4000 ft asl
… one of the 39 World Heritage sites in the Western Ghats of India

ID please; not sure whether I can differentiate Rostellularia procumbens from Justicia procumbens.
Date/Time: September 28, 2008 at 12.14pm
Habit: herb, about 20 cm tall
Habitat: lateritic plateau among other small herbs and grass

Rostellularia procumbens for me too …
But while searching came across two things (link) which might be useful to some
1: Website holding some information about Antibiotics from flowering plants [http://www.bifcpresidency.tn.gov.in/justicidin_A.html]
2. Regarding Taxonomy of the plant – Both the names of the plant a.Rostellularia procumbens Nees and b.Justicia procumbens L. are kept under unresolved category by The Plant list website (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2329315)

Plz id this herb: pa14 – 28oct2012:
Another herb from Yeoor for id. It is a very short herb upto 1 foot high only and the flowers are also quite small.


Species of Justicia, probably J. simplex.


I have labelled this species as Justicia procumbens L.. in my collection. Rostellularia procumbens Nees may be a synonym [the plant list]
This genera is a taxonomic minefield and therefore additional views are welcome.
I will add that in the field it’s difficult to make out whether the calyx is 4 or 5 partite due to reasons I will not go into here.

Is Rostellularia diffusa synonym of Justicia procumbens ? or is there another species as Justicia diffusa?


efi pages on Justicia diffusa (syn: Rostellaria diffusa (Willd.) Nees) & Justicia procumbens   


Justicia procumbens and Rostellularia diffusa are two different species.
And yeah Rostellularia difusa is a synonym of Justicia diffusa. It is Justicia species for sure.

But color of flower is rather light, so it may be different one??

Justicia sp. ??


It is some Acanthaceae member. Flowers not clear to tell


It is justicia procumbens only


I also agree with …, for its id as Justicia procumbens

One of my similar looking post from the same location, Lalbagh, Bangalore was suggested as  Justicia micrantha by …
Experts, kindly advise.

Justicia micrantha Wall.  is synonym for Justicia procumbens subsp. procumbens as per catalogue of life

Many thanks for your prompt reply and also for clearing my doubts.
