Strobilanthes kunthianus is having a 12 year flowering cycle. Where as S. lawsonii is telling to having 17 years flowering cycle by Gamble? But Strobilanthes dupeni Bedd ex Clarke is having 17 years flowering cyle. I have a few plants which flowered in 1995 and the seedling again flowered in 2012 at our garden, so the flowering cycle of S. dupeni is 17 years.
