Apologies for the bad pics.
Medicinal herb.
Place-Cochin.
Height-1.5feet.

Yes, it is Plumbago indica.

Red plumbago

flowers seem a little bigger (compared to leaves) than what I have seen, but that’s no matter being in a pot may have a super abundance of n and p  in the soils …

Thanks…; for confirming ‘Lal Chitrak’
