Forwarding again for Id assistance please. Some earlier relevant feedback: I have searched the net once again and my conclusion (conclusion of a novice) is - 1) It is a member of Gesneriaceae family 2) sepal and petal colour suggest a *Aeschynanthus* sp., might be *A. lanceolatus* (http://www.infojardin.com/foro/showthread.php?t=30103) or some hybrid (http://www.zoonar.com/photo/aeschynanthus-mona-lisa-schambl ume-sinnblume_240473.html) or another similar looking - http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/47110/#b 3) leaf margin and texture suggest might be a *Besleria* sp., .... don't know if there is any *Besleria* without decussate leaves. This link might be of some use- http://jerojetw.blogspot.in/2010_11_01_archive.html Thank you & Regards, Surajit Koley
