Dear friends, Justicia has proved to be a troublesome genus as can be seen in numerous postings during Acanthaceae fortnight. After going through details etc. available on net & compiling at Justicia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/justicia>, I feel all the members should go through the keys here & correctly identify their species & post them on efi for benefit of all the members. Some links which may be useful are as below:
