    I found this growing in a wild situation and it looks much like Justicia carnea but the leaves don't have curled edges. That latter is a garden plant here and I think native to Brazil. What might the plant in the photo be?

    To me it looks fine for Justicia carnea...with the heavily veined leaves.
