Kindly identify this ornamental herb<\/font> growing in Delhi. Flowers in December<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

It may be Barleria<\/i> species. In Hindi it is known as Gulabans<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Plant Uploaded may be Baleria repens<\/i><\/p>\n
\n

For me it looks like Ruellia<\/i> species.\u00a0It has got more resemblance to R. rosea<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Possibly a Ruellia<\/font><\/a><\/i>, cf. R. elegans<\/i>\u00a0cultivar<\/font><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
… are on the correct trail.. barleria flower’s inflorescence is different from the ruella’s ..
flower face is different
leaves are different shape etc
growth habit is different
this is wild petunia
whatever the species..\u00a0… idea comes the closest… May be\u00a0… will help?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Thank you everyone. Is it a species of Barleria<\/i> or Ruellia<\/i>?\u00a0Could\u00a0it\u00a0be\u00a0Ruellia elegans<\/i>? <\/div>\n
\n
