this is\u00a0Andrographis<\/i>\u00a0(Acanthaceae<\/i>). We need more details like habit, leaves, etc to tell you the species name.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you v. much … I was v. keen on getting the id of this flower. I thought this plant was only one of it’s kind!-& hence easily identifiable. I have taken pictures of this from different places in Thattekad & will send them after going thro’ them in order to get the complete ID.<\/p>\n

\n

Here are some more photographs. The first one are leaves of the plant i have already sent a pic of & taken at base of Kallipara hill at the same time. The last three were taken\u00a0in Edamalayar\u00a0Forest<\/span>\u00a0on 09-12-09 at around 7.15 am.<\/span>\u00a0I hope these can help towards arriving at a clearer ID. The first one had actually appeared more elongated & i was mistaken in writing the size -which applies more to the 2nd set of pictures.

I need to see the leaves, is it clasping at the base with terminal pyramidal racemose (panicle) inflorescence….. Andrographis atropurpurea<\/em>.<\/p>\n
