J. chrysostephana is reddish on the undersides of the leaves, particularly the veins. J. sp. 'Sidicaro' is often mis-id'ed as J. chrysostephana, however.

J. 'Sidicaro' wants to be a large shrub, with strong upright stems and large 6" x4" leaves.

Also look at the flower's lower lip. Tightly curled on 'Sidicaro', aka Orange Justicia.
