Looks like Hygrophilla auriculata ?
To me it appears like some Strobilanthes species.
This is a species of Eranthemum, probably Eranthemum pulchellum
Thanks, … But I did not find the shape of the corolla like this in any Eranthemum species. What other genus can it be?
I still think this is a species of Eranthemum. The two exserted stamens, and the subequally 5-lobed corolla and the distinctive bracts strongly suggest this genus. Not all species have a narrowly cylindrical corolla tube including E. tubiflorum from the Assam region. I am not sure of the species. More photographs, perhaps of a pressed specimen where the whole inflorescence shape is clear might be helpful.
Thanks, …, for the id. It matches perfectly with the GBIF– specimen of Eranthemum tubiflorum as well as the distribution as per POWO.
