Now it is upto you to decide.

Location : Aizawl, Mizoram
Altitude : ca. 1,000 m.
Date : 24-11-2012
Habitat : Cultivated ?

Elsholtzia blanda (Benth.) Benth.

Looks different from images at Elsholtzia blanda (Benth.) Benth.
Appears close to images at Elsholtzia fruticosa (D.Don) Rehder
Was it collected from the wild and planted?

Cultivated. Elsholtzia griffithii I think

Maybe.
Leaves appear a bit less broad as per GBIF specimens.
Can you post keys and description?

In view of the description in the Flora of Mizoram and Flora of China, I take it as Elsholtzia communis (Collett & Hemsley) Diels.
