Plant seen inside the Conservatory.<\/p>\n

This has been identified by their Planthotline as Ruellia colorata<\/em>.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Please, also look at Ruellia chartacea<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
I gave the id as Ruellia colorata<\/em> based on the id given on their Planthotline.<\/div>\n
I believe Ruellia colorata<\/em> is a Syn of Ruellia chartacea<\/em><\/strong> or vice a versa.<\/div>\n
Please correct me if wrong.<\/div>\n

Thank you. Yes, you are correct that Ruellia colorata<\/em> is a synonym for R. chartacea<\/strong><\/em>. Unfortunately, R. colorata<\/em>\u00a0is also a syn. for Hemigraphis alternata\/H. colorata<\/em> which has now been changed to Strobilanthes alternata<\/em>. Oh, how the accepted names keep changing!!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
In fact, there are four Ruellia colorata <\/em>from four different authors and each of them is a syn. of some accepted species as per Catalogue of Life<\/font><\/a>.<\/div>\n
I think … is talking of Ruellia<\/font><\/span> <\/font>colorata<\/font><\/i> Baill.<\/font><\/a>, which is a syn. of\u00a0Ruellia chartacea<\/em><\/strong><\/font> <\/strong>(T. Anders.) D.C. Wassh.<\/font><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes. I was surprised to see it in Flowersofindia also.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
