Believe it or not, this little beauty is also an Acanthaceae, an Elytraria from Mexico, 2007. Unfortunately I do not know the species name.
The blog of a systematic botanist of German origin, now working in Australia. It covers botany, phylogenetics, cladistics, science in general, freethought, and occasionally sillier issues.
this is Elytraria mexicana, and a nice photo of it. I notice that you also have a super photo of Justicia mirandae, which I did not recognize from the image of a living plant (because I have never seen it living); but I described the plant in 1995.

Thanks for the determination, and the praise! I would never have guessed that you would find this lowly blog. Perhaps I should post more Acanth pictures in the future...
