Andrographis macrobotrys Nees, Prodr. 11: 516 1847. (Syn: Andrographis ceylanica Nees; Andrographis macrobotrys var. ceylanica (Nees) L.H.Cramer; Andrographis macrobotrys var. parviflora C.B.Clarke; Andrographis wightiana T.Anderson);
.
Please help me to identify this slender Acanthaceae plant found near roadside in evergreen forest.
Height: 3 feet
Leaf: 10cm long
Flower: 1.5cm long
Date: 25 Aug 2012
Place: Valparai, TN
Habitat: Evergreen forest This looks like a species of Andrographis possibly A. paniculata [Creat]. Can you check it with Andrographis atropurpurea and its allies I too think that this could be A. atropurpurea. It could be A.paniculata I don’t think this is Andrographis paniculata; because A.paniculata have smaller flowers. The size of the flowers mentioned here is 1.5 cms which conforms with that of A.paniculata [approx. 2 cms] as seen in my photographs at this link Oh yes …, just now I noticed your plant and that it resembles much alike my picture. Thanks for the input. This plant is Andrographis macrobotrys Nees as confirmed by … of BSI, Southern Circle. Now merged with A.ceylanica. The plant is distributed in Western Ghats and Sri Lanka. . Please identify this weed plant.
