Flower- clusters 1-5 (often 3) together, subsessile ; bracts opposite, paired, flower in one of each pair nearly always 0 or much reduced ; bracteoles 1/4-1/3 in., linear-lanceolate, nearly as long as the bracts.

please identify the plant here in picture. the snaps were taken on way to Uttarakhanda. Is it Barleria sp I think its December plant in telugu I think Dicliptera or Peristrophe species Yes, this looks like certain Dicliptera, but species level identification with these low quality images are nearly impossible for those who are not familiar. However, please check probability of D. chinensis (L.) Juss. I think appears close to Hypoestes triflora (Forssk.) Roem. & Schult. as per images and details herein. here is my 2nd request for the day.
After cropping all and putting them together, I noticed that a lot of the wildflowers are either purple or blue. Is there a reason for that? Could be Dicliptera bupleuroides, not sure though. You can check this out:
Thank you again. The link opens up an illustration of Dicliptera bupleuroides from which I really have very little knowledge to know whether it is the same as the photo.

This plant was found growing wild along with other chickweeds at Ward lake area, Shillong.
Looks like some Dicliptera sp.?
Family: Acanthaceae Date/Time: 13th Nov./ 01:30PM Location: Ward lake premises, Shillong, Meghalaya. Habitat: Wild Plant habit: Herb Height: 50 to 60cm, Leaves ovate, distantly toothed margin, leaves almost sessile, Dicliptera species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) Does look like Dicliptera, but inflorescence is very strange, have some similarity with D. chinensis (L.) Juss., but have differences too! see Peristrophe sp. also. Any chance of Hypoestes triflora (Forssk.) Roem. & Schult. This is Hypoestes triflora (Frossk.) Roem. & Schult. to me. Catalogue of Life lists one Hypoestes triflora var. pedunculata N. P. Balakrishnan from Meghalaya.
