rattlebox said:The entry for Justicia 'Orange Flame' is probably Justicia 'Sidicaro', one of the common names for which is "Orange Flame" (not a cultivar name). The photos are certainly consistent with J. 'Sidicaro' and so probably could be merged with that.
rattlebox said:Unfortunately, most of the photos representing Jacobinia chrysostephana appear to actually be of Justicia 'Sidicaro'. (Or of Justicia aurea; some sites even refer to Jacobinia chrysostephana as a synonym of Justicia aurea.) So there is much confusion being perpetuated out there.
A web search certainly brings up many confusing results. This is where our "Also sold as:" field comes in handy. I've added Justicia 'Orange Flame' to that field in the Mexican Honeysuckle (Justicia 'Sidicaro') entry.
