\nTaken at Jijamata Udyan on the 8th of Feb, 2011.
\n<\/span>Used as a hedge at many places in the garden.<\/span>

\n

I think Justicia spicigera <\/i><\/p>\n

Justicia spicigera<\/em> Schltdl. (Acanthaceae<\/i>) to me. Lower coiled lobe of corolla suggests so.<\/p>\n

Looks very much like <\/span>Justicia spicigera<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\ncould not find any images of Jacobinia tinctoria<\/em> or Justicia tinctoria<\/em> on the web.<\/div>\n
\n

…, you have a keen eye, keep it up
\nJacobinia<\/em> species are now placed in genus Justicia. Eflora of pakistan describes Justicia tinctoria<\/em>. Flora of Guetemala and Ecuador describe both J. spicigera<\/em> and J. tinctoria<\/em><\/span>. Former has fusiform unopened corolla and
\novate leaves, latter narrowly funnelform corolla and elliptic leaves. <\/span>Ours matches with J. tinctoria<\/em>. I hope you will agree.<\/p>\n

\n

Frankly, I don’t even know what fusiform means – most of us in this group are not botanists. However, I am unable to see any significant different between the leaves and flowers in your picture, and those in the links that I had sent. Or may be this one:
\nhttp:\/\/fm2.fieldmuseum.org\/plantguides\/view.asp?chkbox=9994<\/span><\/a>
\nAm I missing something?<\/p>\n

\n

Fusiform means an elongated structure broader in the middle and narrowed at two ends. I am descriptions of two species from Flora of Costa Rica.
\nDon’t be surprised if inspite of several Floras following Justicia tinctoria<\/em>, you may hear new name for it. I find some problem with this name.
