\nAttaching some more pictures of leaves and fruit. <\/span>The stem is very hairy and nodes appear purplish<\/span>. Can this be <\/span>Ruellia tuberosa<\/i>? Id help … <\/span>post<\/a><\/div>\n

After careful observation of many Ruellia<\/i> specimens and photographs with me I doubted this plant shows more affinity towards Ruellia simplex<\/i> rather than to R. brittoniana<\/i>. Expect the comments from other experts!<\/p>\n

\n
May i know what are the differences between Ruellia simplex<\/i> and R. brittoniana<\/i>?<\/span>

As per following sites they are synonyms, maybe one is illegitimate –<\/span><\/div>\n
