Is this Micromeria  ??

I don’t know dear …, it was mistakenly, sharing more images,

Plant habit is very close to Limnophila repens, but this plant doesn’t have any aromatic smell or taste,

Yes, it’s Limnophila repens …,
Actually, L. rugosa is aromatic,

Sharing more images from same location.

My ID request #48 of aromatic plant confirmed as Limnophila repens, please check screenshot or the above request,

I think it is more closer to Limnophila chinensis (Osbeck) Merr. as per keys at Flora of Peninsular India (flowers pedicelled)

Yes, it is , dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,
