Thank you Sourav Ji. It removes a number of confusions - 1. Both FBI & BP mention, in *calcaratus*, flowers are just larger version of *nasutus*. 2. FoC has a note on *calcaratus* at the end - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=128303 (You can try google image search on *Pseuderanthemum polyanthum* and see the result!) 3. The illustration in the link I have provided earlier shows flowers with visibly white upper lip 4. In the 2nd link i provided earlier informs - in *R. beesianus* Diels, upper lip is greenish!
Well, as they say, all's well that ends well!
