Dear Ushadi, Strobilanthes genus is split in new generas in North western ghats. In the erstwhile genus there were 12 species. Of these S callosa, S sessilis, S reticulatus and S scrobiculatus have been seen to flower every 7 years, the flowering years do not overlap though. These species grow in pure stands hence it's a great sight when they defoliate and flower together in abundance. A few of these plants may flower as exception in different years. The rest of 8 species flower each year but the flowers are sparse. I have no idea about the rest of India. Presently there is great sensation about Neelkurunji blooming after 12 years in Nilgiris hence Strobilanthes is on the anvil. Regards
