I looked for photos of Orthrosanthus laxus on the web, and could not find a good match. Flowers of O.laxus fromOrthrosanthus laxus

seem to be much bigger than what I have. Photos found here: http://tinyurl.com/5teg also do not match well, and neither do the plant characteristics, claiming "each stalk having up to five flowers on it" (twenty would be more like it) or height up to 75cm (about 40cm is the height of my plant).
However, this page:
http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/lharvey/default.htm
has a photo of Orthrosanthus polystachyus, the flowers of which seem to be a perfect match to mine, also in relation to the leaf/stem size. The photo itself is here:

What do you think?
