Nice pictures of Justicia sp of Acanthaceae. Looks like J. betonica. Were bract of all the plants green or you could see some individuals with white bracts (a specialized leaf or leaflike part, usually situated at the base of a flower or inflorescence)?
Hesperidae butterflies were seen foraging most of the Acanthaceae plants.
