The taxonomic importance of the rising placenta in capsules of Acanthaceae is briefly discussed, particularly in relation to Justicia versus Rungia. Rungia naoensis is described as a new species. Justicia imlayae and J. internodialis are new names. New combinations are Justicia stolonifera, Pseuderanthemum lapathifolium, P. latifolium, Ptyssiglottis isophylla, P. kunthiana, Rungia adnata, R. burmanica, R. clauda, R. eberhardtii, R. monetaria, R. oligoneura, R. purpurascens, R. selangorensis, R. subtilifolia, R. vegeta. Antheliacanthus is a synonym of Pseuderanthemum and Polytrema a synonym of Ptyssiglottis.
