\nThis seems nearer R. suffruticosa<\/em> than R. cernua<\/em>, of which T.Anderson reckoned it a form; but it differs from both in the very large corolla, the lobes of which are 1 by 3\/4 in., roundly elliptic.

\nMay have escaped cultivation.<\/p>\n

I am not sure because this sp. was found in the natural habitat at many locations far from\u00a0public dwellings.<\/p>\n

Dr Bhaskar Adhikari has suggested\u00a0Ruellia beddomei<\/i> C. B. Clarke which seems correct ID.
