Andrographis macrobotrys Nees, Prodr. 11: 516 1847. (Syn: Andrographis ceylanica Nees; Andrographis macrobotrys var. ceylanica (Nees) L.H.Cramer; Andrographis macrobotrys var. parviflora C.B.Clarke; Andrographis wightiana T.Anderson);
Please help me to identify this slender Acanthaceae plant found near roadside in evergreen forest. Height: 3 feet Leaf: 10cm long Flower: 1.5cm long Date: 25 Aug 2012 Place: Valparai, TN Habitat: Evergreen forest This looks like a species of Andrographis possibly A. paniculata [Creat]. Can you check it with Andrographis atropurpurea and its allies I too think that this could be A. atropurpurea. It could be A.paniculata I don't think this is Andrographis paniculata; because A.paniculata have smaller flowers. The size of the flowers mentioned here is 1.5 cms which conforms with that of A.paniculata [approx. 2 cms] as seen in my photographs at this link Oh yes ..., just now I noticed your plant and that it resembles much alike my picture. Thanks for the input. This plant is Andrographis macrobotrys Nees as confirmed by ... of BSI, Southern Circle. Now merged with A.ceylanica. The plant is distributed in Western Ghats and Sri Lanka. A. atropurpurea have clasping auricle shaped leaf-base. Yet both are evergreen species. 3 Identify weed plant : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5)- around 1 mb each.
