Justicia, such as Justicia carnea and Justicia brandegeeana, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae. They are evergreen perennials and shrubs with leaves which are often strongly veined; but they are primarily cultivated for their showy tubular flowers. Justicia carnea is also called Brazilian plume flower. The perennial plant is native to the Atlantic Forest ecoregions of eastern Brazil, Misiones Province of northeastern Argentina, and Paraguay. The spectacular rosy plumes of the flamingo colored flower are distinctive and attract hummingbirds for pollinator gardens. The flowers are slightly fragrant and mostly sterile.
