Justicia wynaadensis is a small shrub or climber belonging to the family Acanthaceae, native to the Western Ghats region of South India, found in places such as Wayanad, Kodagu, Nilgiris, and Malabar Hills at elevations up to 3000 feet.
Endemic to the tropical Western Ghats, Justicia wynaadensis is found in moist deciduous and evergreen forests, forest edges, and roadsides at altitudes up to 3000 feet. It is considered a valuable constituent of the Western Ghats flora, contributing to the region's rich medicinal plant diversity. Its conservation is important due to its restricted range and ethnomedicinal significance.
