Thanks, Neil ji, Flora of China <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=250096123> says: "...*A. nemorum* has a compact inflorescence with flowers clustered toward the apex, a long and slender corolla tube, blue corollas, and *is known only from Peninsular Malaysia (where cultivated) and Java (where native).* ......." & does not link it with *Asystasia dalzelliana. *
None of the sources at ‎Asystasia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/asystasia>, links *A. nemorum* with *Asystasia dalzelliana. * Thus I am not accepting Dr. Almida's views in this matter until something new comes up.
