Please ID this ornamental herbaceous plant with pink flowers. Photo was taken in Sri Lanka in Dec 2013.


Is it Justicea carnea.


This is possibly what has been named as ‘Brazilian red cloak‘ = Megaskepasma erythrochlamys Lindau 

Thank you

It would had been better if close-up of white flowers, pink bracts and leaves were uploaded as a set of pictures instead of one big plate.

…, later i found out that both eFI (perhaps the same plant) and FoI feature this species.
