| Hi,
Found this plant growing really nicely at a higher elevation place here.
Wonder if it will grow well in lowland places as well.
Hope you can help me to identify this plant.
Thank you.

| The leaves remind me of Impatiens. A close-up of the bloom, stem, etc would help. |

| I think it's an Acanthaceae. Could be Peristrophe speciosa? |

| I think the photo in DG PlantFiles may not be correct for Peristrophe speciosa

I think the PF picture is actually Peristrophe japonica?

| Hi themoonhowl,
The photo in DG PlantfFile you pointed out looks like Peristrophe roxburghiana as well.

| Thanks Stephanie. That means that the pic for P speciosa in plant files is incorrect...it is a pic of P roxburghiana. Thanks for the confirmation.
