Can anyone identify this flower?

I bought it at a garden center. It had a really long name. I wish that i had recorded it because it bloomed continuously all summer.

sorry to disagree, but it's actually Crossandra infundibuliformis.

Definitely not Justicia. I agree with trackinsand, it's Crossandra.
