id<\/span><\/a>: Could this be a species of Rungia<\/i>??<\/p>\n

\n

This is definately Rungia<\/i> species. the upper lip is two lobed<\/span>. Check Fl of Maharashtra –Almeida Sir (in his flora the species are differentiated on the basis of the bracts margin and lobation of upper lip) (i dont have the flora for the reference).<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I guess Rungia elegans<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I think\u00a0this is Justicia concinna<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>as per images and details herein.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I too agree with your thinking. Leaf is remarkable !!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
Thanks, …, Only issue is that leaves are a bit different from some of the posts at Justicia concinna<\/u><\/em><\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span>But there are quite a lot of variation in the leaves of <\/span>Rungia<\/em> species.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

I think leaf is representative of species, also, plant is young and in an older plant leaf character will change, so with change in climate.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
I have the feeling that the following may also be Justicia repens<\/em><\/span><\/a>, basing on this post and other tow posts\u00a0(Acanthaceae Fortnight :: Rungia elegans :: Bhimashankar WLS :: DVMAR103\/114<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and Rungia elegans<\/span><\/a>) :<\/div>\n

\n<\/span>Rungia sp. for id from Morena, M.P<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 is looking like J. concinna, leaves are sessile, linear lanceolate and not amplexicaul. Spike has color, but not have width.

–\u00a0\u00a0Its Rungia<\/i> sp. The bracts seen in picture are very typical of the genus<\/p>\n

\n

I think this should not be Justicia repens<\/u><\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0with bracts appearing to be dimorphic and\u00a0not\u00a0appearing to be uniform.<\/p>\n

Rungia repens<\/i> ??<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Yes sir, Rungia repens<\/i> for me too, but in FOI\u00a0name has been given to a species not appearing to be Rungia<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

The species posted here is no longer seen in FOI. This species is very common in Surat. I sure wd. like the confusion to be cleared .<\/p>\n

\n

Justicia repens<\/i> L. is new name??<\/p>\n

\n

I think more close to Justicia pectinata<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0rather than <\/i>Justicia repens<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per images and details herein.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

I think\u00a0this is Justicia concinna<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per images and details herein.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes sir , …!!!
\nI think I have to begin looking at all the specimen more closely. <\/span>It seems there is erect vs prostrate plus size bigger vs smaller plus bracts margin white vs colored \u2192 concinna<\/em> vs repens<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n
