Re: Tropical plant ID

Dan, Is this a trick question? ;+)
You, too, dropped the i in Justicia.
There is no Justica or Justicia incarnata in google or in books.
Could you have meant Justicia carnea - which it is. ?
or could you have meant Jacobinia incana - which has been renamed to
Justicia leonardii?
