01042012GS1 for ID: Ruellia nudiflora or Ruellia tuberosa??:<\/a> Photographed Today from Vikas Puri, Delhi.<\/font> Was growing outside a private house<\/font> so could not dig out for possible tuberous roots. <\/div>\n
Bracts and bracteoles are definitely shorter than calyx lobes, flowers 5-6 cm long blue-mauve; plants hardly 50 cm tall, leaves 5-8 cm long, long hairy especially on petiole and young shoots, margin somewhat undulate with prominent veins.<\/font> <\/div>\n
The plant resembles one depicted as Ruellia nudiflora at Flowers of India website. Please help in ID.<\/div>\n
\n
Many thanks … for bringing up these two close species … was not aware of Ruellia nudiflora<\/i> being close to Ruellia tuberosa<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
After feedback from Facebook groups, I take it as R. nudiflora<\/em><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
is that the only differentiating point?<\/p>\n
\n

Assuming my post\u00a0Ruellia tuberosa<\/i>\u00a0L.<\/font><\/a>, which grows wild and common in Hooghly, is correctly identified as per\u00a0http:\/\/keyserver.lucidcentral.org\/weeds\/data\/03030800-0b07-490a-8d04-0605030c0f01\/media\/Html\/Ruellia_tuberosa.htm<\/font><\/a>\u00a0what I find the differences between the R. tuberosa<\/i>\u00a0L. and R. nudiflora<\/i>\u00a0(Engelm. & A. Gray) Urb. are –\u00a0<\/div>\n

(i) the capsules of R. tuberosa<\/i>\u00a0are more linear, narrower, longer<\/font><\/p>\n
(ii) the sepals extend significantly above the narrower portion of the corolla tube<\/font><\/div>\n
For the above comparison I have checked my thread and several herbarium of R. nudiflora<\/i>\u00a0in KEW and\u00a0http:\/\/w3.biosci.utexas.edu\/prc\/specimens\/Acanthaceae.html<\/font><\/a>
<\/u><\/div>\n
My account is that this species in this thread is not R. tuberosa<\/i>\u00a0L.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I will be thankful to you in identifying the attached specimen of Ruellia<\/i><\/div>\n
It was observed at Puzhal, Chennai, Tamilnadu of 14-10-15 & 15-10-15<\/font><\/div>\n
A herb of 45-50 cm plant with long inflorescence. Flowers arranged in compound cyme.<\/font>\u00a0<\/div>\n
Whether it could be Ruellia nudiflora<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Garden escape? it is looking close to Ruellia prostrata<\/i> but, flowers are termnal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please check (for Ruellia nudiflora<\/i>) –<\/p>\n
