This very beautiful species approaches nearest to Justicia thyrsiflora Roxb. — It is a large shrub, with ample dark 
green leaves, and long, curved, tubular flowers, of a bright orange-red colour, disposed in a large terminal raceme.

Closely allied to Justicia nasuta Linn., but differing in the greater size of all its parts, and in the leaves being 
elliptic-ovate, and not lanceolate as in that species.
