\n

Looks like Beloperone guttata<\/i> but also looks like JUSTICIA BRANDEGEANA<\/i> are they synonymous or is there any difference<\/p>\n

\n

Yes .., you are correct on both counts. Beloperone<\/i> \u00a0is synonym of Justicia Brandegeana<\/i>, which was uploaded today separately today by .. from India and me from California
\nThis plant seems to be the cultivar of Justicia Brandegeana<\/i> known as ‘Yellow Queen’<\/b>, common name Yellow Shrimp plant\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nObserved in Pune<\/span>. Planted in a private Hotel near the wall.
\n<\/span>Around 4-5 feet tall flower size<\/span> similar to Adhatoda.
\nAcanthaceae<\/i> species?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

May be Pachystachys lutea<\/i> or its cultivar<\/p>\n

\n

…It looks like Justicia brandegeana<\/i> (Shirmp Plant<\/b>) rather than Pachystachys lutea<\/i> (Golden Shrimp plant). The flowers here, have some red shade in them and also d projecting white flowers have distinctive marking ( which r absent in Golden shirmp plant).<\/p>\n

\n

Yes … you are right. I also had this doubt because this plant came up during Acanthaceae<\/i> week, but some how forgot this name. Thanks for reminding.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Yes this is not Pachystachys<\/i>. I remember when I was in school but still interested in plants, and I used to collect plants for my garden. I went to our nursery and asked him the name of the plant, He said CHESIS PACHIS…. It took me years to understand what he meant!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

Yes for the ID, but do we need to go for cultivar name? Though similar images in toptropicals or a few other sites have been labelled as such particular cultivar, we do not know if our climate would suit those particular cultivars. Better have a look at –<\/div>\n
