At first sight this looks rather like Justicia Galeopsis T. And., but the narrower leaves, and of course the 

 long corolla-tube, are easy distinguishing features. According to Lindau's views, this is an Anlnjvsticia, but il 

 agree with Bentham & Clarke in placing the allies ef the plant just described in the genus Hiphonoglossa.
