Tabish, you have a keen eye, keep it up Jacobinia species are now placed in genus Justicia. Eflora of pakistan describes Justicia tinctoria. Flora of Guetemala and Ecuador describe both J. spicigera and J. tinctoria. Former has fusiform unopened corolla and ovate leaves, latter narrowly funnelform corolla and elliptic leaves. Ours matches with J. tinctoria. I hope you will agree.
