Hedyotis from Valparai for identification 200712MK02:

I saw this herb in a rain forest area of western ghats; the habitat was wet rocky. The was trailing up to 30-50cm longer and with leaves of 6×1.5 cm. The flowers are not more than 1cm long. Please help me to identify this plant. I think this Rubiaceae could be a Hedyotis sp.

Date: 12 July 2012

Alt.: 950 m asl
Place: Vaalparai, TN

I am not sure.. but please check Hedyotis neesiana Arn. or Diodella teres (Rubiaceae)

The leaves are coriaceous (thick leathery)

Look like Hedyotis neesiana Arn.

Something close to Spermacoce.
Pl. check the spelling.

I concur with …

Yes, close to Spermacoce pusilla, dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,

Scleromitrion ??

It is more close to Scleromitrion verticillatum,

That may be correct !

I think it looks different from images at Scleromitrion verticillatum (L.) R.J.Wang, on closer checking of calyx etc.
I checked all species of this genus now listed at REVISITING THE HEDYOTIS–OLDENLANDIA COMPLEX IN INDIA, WITH A NOTE ON SCLEROMITRION December 2021 Edinburgh Journal of Botany 78:1-17 by M. D. Nandikar & S. P. Bramhadande.
Good work by Mayur ji.
To me it appears close to images at Hedyotis neesiana (now Scleromitrion neesianum (Arn.) Nandikar)
