Spermacoce alata is a species of plants in the Rubiaceae.[2] It is widespread across the warmer parts of the Western Hemisphere and naturalized in many other parts of the world. Spermacoce alata is a perennial herb, sometimes erect but other times decumbent. Stems are square in cross-section, with wings along the corners running lengthwise along the stem. Leaves are elliptical to oblong, up to 8 cm long. Flowers are white to very pale purple, formed in axillary clumps.[3]

Please help me to identify this herb found on a fallow land and grassland near Solayar near Valapari in western ghats. Is this Spermacoce sp.?
Leaf: 5×3 cm
Flower: 0.8cm long
Plant trails to a length of 1-2 feet
Place: Solayar, Valparai, TN

Date: 02 Aug 2012 I think it is Spermacoce ocymoides (Rubiaceae), because it is an erect herb, leaves decussate, corolla white. It is very common in scrub forest, waterlands and layer of soil by rocks. It is Spermacoce latifolia Aubl.
