Image 1 depicts Hemigraphis latebrosa (Roth) Neesof Acanthaceae family
I agree with Aravind for first. The second may be some Asystasia species I think
1. Hemigraphis latebrosa (Roth) Nees
Dr. Arvind is correct
2. Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson
Asystasia gangetica is variable species, better to dissect the flowers and check it with relevant floras. For perfect identification specimens is required. By seeing images we can give suggestions but you have yo confirm identity after dissection.
Rajeev Kumar sir...maybe it is Strobilanthes species...
No, it is not Strobilanthes species. Better to send the specimens to BSI (Howrah, Pune or Hyderabad) for correct identifications.
Not Ruellia humilis, may be something interesting taxon (from leaves it seems) or variable form, result will come after more field study to check the population for range of variations.
Now, I have confirm the identity - your second plant is Strobilanthes cuspidata (Benth.) T. Anderson
Wight, R., Icones Plantarum Indiae Orientalis, vol. 4(3): t. 1497 (1846), check this illustration of Wight, given as Endopogon versicolor Wight, synonym of Strobilanthes cuspidata (Benth.) T. Anderson
