request for info about Stobilanthes sp.

This may not be strictly a Mediterranean plant, but it seems to do well
so far up here in the Northern Sacramento Valley.  With the plant
expertise out there, I couldn't think of a better place to ask.   I was
given cuttings of what is supposed to be a species of Strobilanthes.  In

reading an old edition of Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture,
it might be S. anisophyllus.

I'm wondering how I might know which species it actually is, and what
are the limits and/or peculiarities of this plant? How little water will

it endure? (I was hoping it might tolerate dry shade),  how much cold
will it endure?   What uses is it especially suited to?

Does anyone have information about this plant?

Thanks,
