Ruellia<\/i> (Acanthaceae<\/i> family)
\nIs commonly known as the ‘wild petunia’<\/b>, however are no-where related to the Petunia sps.
\ncould be R. brittoniana<\/i> as well.

\nThis particular species is also commonly known as the ‘desert petunia’<\/b> as per .. information
\nAdditional information<\/u> : The genus was named in honor of Jean Ruelle, herbalist and physician to Francis I of France and translator of several works of Pedanius Dioscorides.<\/span><\/p>\n

I agree with … Pl. check comparative images at Ruellia<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

thanks …, but i don’t get by your meaning “escape”<\/p>\n

\n

…, the posted plant looks like an ornamental plant. You have described its habitat as “wild”. I think the garden plant must have “escaped” and has grown in nearby place, making it seem like growing wild.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Means a planted species escaping into wild.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

may be so. I have narrowed my Id to Ruellia simplex<\/i> Dwarf Pink found on the net. Please validate if possible. Also thanks …<\/p>\n
