Does it look like
Rostellularia criniata? syn Justicia micrantha

Can it be Rungia species?!


it is Justicia micrantha Heyne ex Wall. (Cooke flora vol 2, pg 408 printed 2006). the scarious calyx with the midrib aristate at apex indicated it to be this species.

It is not listed in Nepal. Could it be new ?

Justicia neesii Ramamoorthy is an unresolved name

This name is unresolved, but some data suggest that it is synonymous with Rostellularia neesii (Ramamoorthy) A.K.Mukh.

Dear friends, ID please. The flower just about 2 – 3 mm across


I think it matches with Justicia japonica (syn. Justicia simplex D. Don) as per thread: Justicia simplex from Pench – NSD 57


It looks like Justicia because of anthers.


Many thanks … and … for helping in ID.


Does not seem to match with images at Justicia japonica
Pl. check with images at Justicia neesii

The plant resembles Justicia wynaadensis; but the species is known to be endemic of Western Ghats.


Yes it looks like Justicia neesi only

Yes it looks like Justicia neesii 

After the paper from KEW in 2015, and a revision I saw from Australia deliberating on Indian type specimen and nomenclature, everything is jumbled up in Justicia, Rungia and Rostellularia.

Which physical character belongs to which Genus ? It looks like only Justicia wll remain, rest will be gone!
