Even the page of Dicliptera roxburghiana <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=104&cat=7> in Flora of Peninsular India is blank. Neither Flora of Pakistan <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=109954> nor Checklist of Nepal <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=109954> mentions it. I could not find many regional references where it is mentioned at Dicliptera <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/acanthaceae/dicliptera> Catalogue of Life <https://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/6ec15bc8480a736896ba45f6689e13bf/synonym/bde6176c0320d44083b0ccd62bd65bb9> also does not give its distribution in India (China (Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Hongkong, Macao, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan), Taiwan, Indochina, Pakistan (Baluchistan, Quetta, Waziristan, Kurram, N.W.Frontier Prov., Dir, Swat, Pakistani Punjab, Salt Range, Rawalpindi, Hazara), Ryukyu Isl., Hawaii (I) (Kauai (I), Oahu (I), Molokai (I)) So it may be rare in India or some other variety other than type variety of *Dicliptera roxburghiana* Nees may be reported.
