both Malayalam and English spellings are correct

mint indicates   పుదీనా  hence it is appropriate to be అడవి పుదీనా, so many wild basils are there.

coined Telugu name revised …

Request for ID. This herb photographed at Munnar..

This one seems to be Ocimum gratissimum or O. basilicum

The plant rather reminds me of some species of Impatiens

it is certainly not Ocimum gratissimum nor O. basilicum. but cant say which plant it is.

There is a match of Scutellaria sp?

Looks like Scutellaria sp.

I hope this plant is Scutellaria discolor  var. discolor.
Please see in the detailed description of this plant from “The eFlora of China” {link provided below}.
