Acalypla Species?
Acalypha lanceolata?

Yes, looks like an Acalypha species.


The images of the flowers are not very clear, but from the shape of the bracts and the elongated styles, this indeed appears to be Acalypha lanceolata. However, I am not fully sure.


Thanks for suggested id.
Adding one more picture taken at the same place, which appears to be of the same plant.
Hope it helps in id.

Thanks …, This last image is very similar to Acalypha fruticosa.


I find these images closer to Acalypha indica L. rather than those at Acalypha lanceolata Willd.
