This is *Justicia pectinata* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/justicia/rungia-pectinata>* only as the upper lip of the flower seems to be acute and whitish and not emarginated and bluish as in **Justicia concinna* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/justicia/rungia-elegans> Aarti ji has said "This was taken on 17th April, 09 at Mahabaleshwar. *Very small*." Thus flower appears to be quite small as also pointed out by Dinesh ji, leading me to revert back his images from *Justicia concinna* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/justicia/rungia-elegans> to *Justicia pectinata* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/justicia/rungia-pectinata>
Inflorescence appears to be similar to Rakesh ji's image 3, in another thread. Now the question is to find out difference between *Justicia pectinata* <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/justicia/rungia-pectinata> and *Justicia parviflora*, which I am not getting.
