Russelia equisetiformis from Herbal garden samalkha Panipat: Russelia equisetiformis
Family: Scrophulariaceae 


Most common ornamental plant in Mysore and southern cities. One should always provide bright sunlight for this straggling shrub. Otherwise the flowering is reduced. 


I always thought that it is Russelia juncea. May be I was wrong, or the name has been changed? 


No …, your identification is right, only that it is now considered as synonym of R. equisetiformis.

Sharing the images of Russelia equisetiformis from Coimbatore: Commonly used ornamental plant in house/office etc.,


nice colors, but I have the same problem, these small cylinders are so difficult to get in sharp focus… I have tried many times… but seems you have the same problem.. I think next time instead of hand held I’ll try on tripod and see what can be done, and with or without flash…
may be there is a little shake in the camera or the plant/subject which being cylindrical does not provide the camera to fix its sensors on!!!


Taking picture of red subjects is always tricky…. there should be a scientific reason for it may be because of highest wavelength.


Russelia equisetiformis.
Common Names: firecracker plant, coral plant, coralblow, fountain plant.
