Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Hemigraphis (half written, of some obscure or fanciful application). Acanthaceae. Diffuse or prostrate, mostly herbs, grown for foliage and fls. The genus, comprising perhaps 30 species in Trop. Asia, China, Japan and the Philippines, is allied to Strobilanthes and more remotely to Ruellia. From the former it is distinguished by the 3-? ovules in each cell, linear caps, with base scarcely constricted, and in the prostrate or trailing habit. Fls. in short terminal crowded spikes, the bracts usually herbaceous and imbricated; calyx deeply 5-cut; corolla slender-tubed with 5 rounded more or less unequal lobes; stamens 4, didynamous lvs. opposite, simple, entire or dentate. H. colorata, Hallier (Ruellia colorata, Blume; once listed as Amaglyptus), from Java, is a name listed in S. Fla., as a good subject for baskets and for cover: lvs. of H. colorata are ovate, shallowly cordate at base, crenate and bullate, purplish: fls. white or whitish, about ½ in. tong. There is likely to be confusion in the trade plants in this and related groups.
