Came across this flower in the forest cover of “Sohra-Cherapunjee“. Any clue on its ID..

… colour and texture of Strobilanthes … sheer thought.

Beautiful pix, DSC0096, … Looks rather like Ruellia, but the spiral structure dissuades me. 

  How many more such aces you have up your sleeve?! 😉  This one is not going to be easy. How about asking JRI Wood?

This flower has been identified as Strobilanthes sabiniana, a rare Himalayan flower, by JRI Wood, who is a researcher and an authority on Strobilanthes species.

… rarer the flower, greater the joy.
