Strobilanthes sp. from Bangalore:
I would like to know which species of Strobilanthes this is. Unfortunately I only have a picture of the flowers. It was taken last month on the outskirts of Bangalore, in a landscaped area. Is it Strobilanthes hamiltoniana?

Kumily (900m), Kerala. January 2019.
It seems to be S.hamiltoniana. Can you confirm ?

Yes.

Was it cultivated or wild ?

To me also appears close to images at Strobilanthes hamiltoniana, but I am not sure.

This is Strobilanthes hamiltoniana without doubt.

I think this is Strobilanthes hamiltoniana BUT it is cultivated or, at least naturalized from a cultivated plant.
Wild Strobilanthes hamiltoniana usually has white or white flushed lilac flowers but I have been sent photos of a wild pink flowered form from Arunachal Pradesh or Assam. I presume the pink flowered form was taken into cultivation in the Howrah Botanical Garden sometime in the 19th century. It was then propagated by cuttings and is now the form seen in conservatories and gardens in Europe, North America, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa and elsewhere. These pink-flowered forms do not form fruits – hence propagation by cuttings – but are easily spread. The plant is reported to be invasive on the island of Reunion, where the plant is spread by cattle, which break off shoots which then regenerate.
Some of these comments require references but this is the situation as far as I am aware.

i don’t know if it’s cultivated. I think rather than it’s escaped from a nearby garden…
Next to there is a botanical garden (spices graden).

Strobilanthes hamiltoniana (Steud.) Bosser & H.Heine !

Yes, it is. Thank you very much for ID my plant. It is here only at this house, 6 plants. “Easy propagation through stem-cuts”, they said. Wikipedia says another name (find screen shot).
2 screenshots.

That seems to be wrong ! That is Dicliptera group.
