Tough! Could not match !
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=131299

Could not find a match with comparative images in efi site.
Try keys in BSI Flora of India

It is the same species as in another thread: SK1324 27 JUL 2018

I think this is Stellaria patens D. Don as per GBIF- specimens from Nepal– one, two, three, four.

Stellaria uliginosa Murray. ??

Syn : Stellaria alsine Grimm

Looks different from images at Stellaria alsine Grimm

Also could not find a match as per comparative images at Stellaria

try Stellaria media

Tried earlier but could not conclude due to the difference of 3 months in flowering season.

you still don’t get it. global warming and environmental upheaval around the world negates seasons as written down in older floras, books etc. if anatomy matches prescribed features, that’s what we go with to check with older seasonal calendar

Cerastium cerastioides

I am afraid Cerastium cerastoides is not the correct ID.

It appears apparently similar to Stellaria vestita Kurz, but is different from it.

Stellaria patens var. ovatifolia H.Hara !
Endemic to Nepal!

ID credit Ms. Rashika Kafle !

After seeing the images of Stellaria patens var. ovatifolia H.Hara as confirmed by Ms. Rashika Kafle at SK 3810 21 July 2023, I feel it may be
https://efloraofindia.com/2015/09/02/stellaria-patens/ only.

Yes, … This has also been validated accordingly by Ms. Kafle as you have suggested !

Stellaria alsine Grimm ??

Looks different from images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2014/04/24/stellaria-alsine/

once check with Cerastium fontanum….

I think it does not match with Cerastium fontanum !

https://efloraofindia.com/2015/09/02/stellaria-patens/ only.

Ms. Kafle has ID this as Stellaria patens var. patens !

Yes
