. Crossandra Species for ID : Nasik : 07APR21 : AK-07: 4 images.
Crossandra Species seen in Nasik in Dec, 2020. The shape of the flower seems a bit different.
A cultivated plant. For me Crossandra infundibuliform – a variety only.   Crossandra nilotica:
Crossandra nilotica is a small evergreen shrub of acanthaceae family. Common name- Firecracker Plant
Plant habit- Shrub
Plant height- 1.5 feet – 2 feet. Habitat- Wild Location- Pune Date- 7 th March 2011. why not Crossandra infundibuliformis?
both the leaves and the flower of C. nilotica differ from Crossandra infundibuliformis.
For comparison I m posting both plant pics (in a new message). Taking it as Crossandra infundibuliformis, in view of … remarks in Crossandra nilotica and Crossandra infundibuliformis
Crossandra nilotica and Crossandra infundibuliformis: … an observation: there is no much discussion on internet about Crossandra nilotica having naturalized OR growing wild in India. Also you are right and because of this fact that ” there is no much discussion on internet about Crossandra nilotica having naturalized OR growing wild in India “”, I couldn’t identify it then. (I referred FOI but it is not there). By chance I found it’s reference somewhere and identified it.
I found it growing by roadside among debris and wild plants in Warje, Pune. I dunno what to make of it..whether it is getting naturalized here or it’s just one exception. So it’s up to the experts here to judge all this. For the link below I have a query about identification and distribution of plant species: efi thread
Similarly other varieties like:
According to a report Shri Vengadapathi Reddiar a Padma Shri awardee and a proficient personality in the field of horticulture has developed more than 100 new varieties of Crossandra infundibuliformis by induced mutation and cross-pollination. .
Acanthaceae Fortnight : Crossandra nilotica For Validation : Jijamata Udyan,Mumbai : 26MAR15 : AK-10 : 5 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1)
Picture taken in Dec,2007 at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai, during my earlier visits to the garden. I feel this could be Crossandra nilotica, going through … post.
Experts, kindly have a look and validate, although I don’t have pictures of the leaves. It is difficult to confirm in the absence of other details of the plant. Please check bracts are pilose which differs the nilotica from infundibuliformis. C. nilotica Oliv. should be 1 ft high, with woody downy stem, pale pink or scarlet coloured flowers having the lower petal largest of all. According to the images in the Net ID looks correct ! This has been identified by … as Crossandra infundibuliformis only. . http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2743018
