Justicia spicigera Schltdl. View in CoL

MEXICO. Tabasco: Edo. Puyacatengo, Centro Régional de Chapingo , orilla del río, 60 m, 27-V-1979 (flr), K . Hormia 174 ( US, W) .

Justicia spicigera View in CoL is otherwise known from cultivated collections from Tabasco, but this collection would appear to possibly represent either a native or naturalized occurrence of the species in that state. It is somewhat unusual among conspecifics by the corollas bearing inconspicuous glands not only proximally on the corolla tube, but also distally on the tube and on the lips. The species is widely cultivated in Mexico, where it is presumed to be native. Daniel (1995, 2003) noted likely native occurrences in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz.
