\nAcanthaceae herb for identification 300812MK01:<\/a><\/div>\n

Please help me to identify this slender Acanthaceae plant found near roadside in evergreen forest.<\/span><\/div>\n
Height: 3 feet<\/span><\/div>\n
Leaf: 10cm long<\/span><\/div>\n
Flower: 1.5cm long<\/span><\/div>\n

This looks like a species of Andrographis<\/i> possibly A. paniculata<\/i> [Creat].<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Can you check it with Andrographis atropurpurea <\/i>and its allies<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I too think that this could be <\/span>A. atropurpurea.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It could be <\/span>A.paniculata<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

I don’t think this is Andrographis paniculata<\/i>; because A.paniculata<\/i> have smaller flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

The size of the flowers mentioned here is 1.5 cms which conforms with that of A.paniculata<\/i> [approx. 2 cms] as seen in my photographs at this link<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Oh yes …, just now I noticed your plant and that it resembles much alike my picture. Thanks for the input.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

This plant is Andrographis macrobotrys<\/i> Nees as confirmed by … of BSI, Southern Circle. Now merged with A.ceylanica<\/i>. The plant is distributed in Western Ghats and Sri Lanka.
\n<\/span>A. atropurpurea<\/i> have clasping auricle shaped leaf-base. <\/span>Yet both are evergreen species.<\/p>\n
