ID requested for this Boraginaceae member Oct 2016, Faridkot. Punjab.

it is Heliotropium bacciferum Forssk., 


Thanks, … Wonderful efforts. How did you identify it?

I also feel it is close to images at (but I do not find its distribution in India):

some plants enter our country by various methods; if it is available in Pak there is every possibility of an entry; (exotics)


Thank you … for the identification and thank you … for consulting many refs.


Catalogue of Life gives its distribution in NW India.

Please help validate this plant as Heliotropium bacciferum. Unlike in my other post wire bush FOR ID, this bush has leaves, the branching is less tangled, importantly, the inflorescence is branched, and one of flower seen is clearly Heliotropium.
