Oldenlandia corymbosa L, diffuse herb from Virajpet area of Coorg, Karnataka

Thank you for sharing, never seen flowers having such significantly longer corolla tube than calyx lobes.

I think more closer to images at Oldenlandia herbacea (L.) Roxb. rather than those at Oldenlandia corymbosa

please find the images of Hedyotis corymbosa
Name: Hedyotis corymbosa
Family: Rubiaceae

Habitat: Wild, Grasslands
Place of collection: Ranpur, Nayagarh, Odisha
I think there is a mix up of images here.
First image is of Oldenlandia herbacea (L.) Roxb.
Can not say about other three images.

Yore right, …, there are mix-up images,
The second one, not Oldenaldia et al and third one resembles Mitrasacme indica, Loganiaceae member.
