I believe this is Strobilanthes tomentosa (Nees) J.R.I.Wood which is the correct name for Aechmanthea gossypina.

Some earlier relevant feedback: Feedback as per another thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/indiantreepix/u5wlyoPQgkQ>: My earlier upload as Aechmanthera may be Strobilanthes, perhaps S. glutinosus because of petioled leaves, foliaceous looking persistent bracts although calyx is not glandular pubescent. Pl. suggest ID. - from Singh ji. It looks like Aechmathera gosypina to me.
