Could this be E. capens var. concanense based on the key provided here efi page on Eranthemum capense Bracts and spike look very different in – Thank you I agree …, the bracts and spikes do look different…. I wonder then, what this could be… I do not have any idea … Please check the KEY provided by …- efi thread.

2. Bracts glabrous or faintly hairy——–3
3. Bracts white with green veins, obovate, obtuse, with a short reflexed mucro—-4
4. Plants with many erect branches springing from a common base—E. wattii

Requesting to please ID this shrub captured near Devgad, Maharashtra in May 2014.
Is it some Eranthemum species? Though not clear yet white mark on bracts can be visible in the first and last pic. This directs to Eranthemum roseum (Vahl) R.Br. I think … is right, E. roseum, characterized by long (longer than 7 cm) narrower spikes, obovate mucronate bracts mottled green and white. Doubtful. Somehow the floral arrangement point towards Stachytarpheta sps. But not sure. I doubt if any species of Stachytarpheta has that large bracts. Thank you … However, I do not think that the bracts are white, rather they do not seem to have any white…but they are extremely hairy…am attaching a cropped pic of the bracts. Looks like Acanthaceae species. Eranthemum roseum ? (दसमुळी ?) When posted under the Acanthaceae fortnight here, the keys suggested E. pubescens.
Would appreciate expert opinion on whether this is E. pubescens or E. roseum. Thanks, …, I also think closer to Eranthemum pubescens Roth as per comparative images at Eranthemum Thank you … for validating. .
