J. spicigera and J. 'Sidicaro' are two different species.

Again, look to the flower's lower lip. Not tightly curled on J. spicigera.

As far as I know, 'Sidicaro' has not yet been formally described. Part of the reason for this is lack of collection data. The original source of collection is obscure.

Check the link The thread "Justicia 'Orange Flame'" in Plant Database forum for a discussion in which I had been involved.
