Fwd: [efloraofindia:57815]….Cuphe­a llavea from Shimla: This ornamental herb was shot at IIAS, Shimla, in November 2010. As far as I could know, I suppose this to be Cuphea llavea (Bat-faced cuphea). Attached pics might not be that illustrative of its face. 

I think this indeed Cuphea llavea thry come in different colours
