PS: Even TropicSphere ends up with three different plants: Justicia 'Sidicaro', Justicia spicigera, and an unknown with reddish veins underneath from Bill of Kurtuz.

That post is from 2008 with no update as to the findings. Since Bill of Kurtuz got involved at the end and provided the plant with the reddish veins for examination, I wonder if this examination is why Kurtuz now refers to that plant specifically as Jacobinia chrysostephana -Golden Crowned instead of generically as J. 'Orange Flame'.
