The one with much bigger flowers is Lindernia antipoda (L.) Alston, as have been identified earlier – /species/a—l/l/linderniaceae/lindernia/lindernia-antipoda. (more precisely, i think not of FoC or F. B. I,, but Vandellia veronicaefolia of Haines)
The one with much smaller flowers (in 1st and last pics) is same as in yesterday’s post –
https://groups.google.com/indiantreepix/1hRzZD8J. Recorded today (5.8.13), in Hooghly. Lindernia species in efi I am not confirmed, but think close to Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukherjee.

    Lindernia species identification : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)- 1 mb each. Bonnaya antipoda (L.) Druce Syn : Lindernia antipoda (L.) Alston ! I also feel more closer to Lindernia antipoda rather than Lindernia ruellioides as per details and images herein and as per comparative images at Lindernia Thanks – I initially thought it wasn’t Bonnaya antipoda since it didn’t have the conspicuous two yellowish stamonodes, but now I notice that it’s probably just concealed in the photo.
