The five species of Justicia described here are all closely 
allied and form a series somewhat similar to that of Justicia 
Neesiana, Wall. and its allies in Hooker’s Flora Brit. Ind., iv 
(1885), 531. The species are distinguished more by habit and 
foliage than by the characters of the flower. The size and 
structure of the corolla, stamens, ovary, and seeds are very much 
the same in all the species.
