Forgot the name ! 
Verbena ..??

yes a verbana sp. pink porterweed. hairy leaves, pink flowers on spikes.
Stachytarpheta sp, most likely S. mutabilis
queensland gov website talks of colors of flowers in different sp


Not sure if this is wild one.
Could be Stachytarpetha speciosa.


Stachytarpheta mutabilis (Jacq.) Vahl ??

from the various floras etc. one needs measurements of flowers and the spike etc. so final sp level dx would be a guess at best unless it was labeled by whoever was growing it
was it?

Chascanum hyderabadense (Walp.) Moldenke (= Bouchea hyderabadensis Walp),
tall undershrub from Yercaud hill station Tamilnadu

Thanks … for showing… This taxon can be confused with Stachytarpheta..


To me looks different from references and other images at Chascanum hyderabadense (Walp.) Moldenke


Bouchea hyderabadense Walp. is the synonym of Chascanum hyderabadense 


Stachytarpheta mutabilis is also applicable


It looks like Stachytarpheta mutabilis; the flora picture is not clear
