I think this is Strobilanthes oligocphala<\/em> T. Anderson ex C.B. Clarke because of the elongate inflorescence, pubescent corolla, glandular calyx<\/font> BUT it does not show the typical subterminal inflorecence of that species. The leaf shape (slightly falcate) looks good but I can’t see the underside of the leaf. In S. oligocephala<\/em> it is characteristically pale, even whitish.<\/font><\/p>\n
