Could it be. But usually, as what I always do, it's hard to identify into species level just from photograph, although I frequently do it too. Haha ...

I think you're right achmmad. I never thought about this being Strobilanthes. Looks a bit like Strobilanthes penstemonoides. What do you think?

Probably belong to genus Strobilanthes sp. - from Acanthaceae. I'm not understand much about his family.
