This *Justicia* sp. cannot be *J. diffusa* Willd based on the densely bristly/hispid/tomentose or scabrid (please clarify the description) nature of the calyx and bracts and capsule.
This could possibly be *Justicia prostrata* (Cl.) Gamble. In Gamble, the description is given as Small prostrate plants becoming woody sometimes. Leaves small, orbicular or ovate and rarely over .5 in long. Spikes short, flowers pale. Calyx lobes more or less scabrous. Capsules small and puberulous. What is not matching according to the key is- Bracts are supposed to be lanceolate but here they are ovate.
