This is the key as per FPM Gamble and T.Pullaiah:
1.Flowers in slender trichotomous/ divaricately branched lax panicles:
 a. inflorescence bracts minute, linear; flowering bracts and bracteoles minute; leaves almost glabrous: Dicliptera parvibracteata
 b. bracts ciliate, leaves minutely pubescent, bracteoles linear-lanceolate, inflorescence branches hairy: Dicliptera beddomei
2. Flowers in axillary peduncled clusters:
 a. leaves hairy, rounded or obtuse at base;  floral bracts obovate-oblong: Dicliptera cuneata
 b. leaves acuminate at both ends, floral bracts foliaceous: Dicliptera foetida
3. flowers in dense axillary and terminal sessile or subsessile clusters, leaves rhomboid: Dicliptera bupleuroides
4. Flower clusters mostly in axillary whorls, bracts-oblong-obovate; leaves glabrous, ovate: Dicliptera verticellata

Dicliptera posted by me is not D.cuneata, wrongly identified.
it is Dicliptera beddomei– reasons branches slender, striate, flowers in trichotomous cymes on lax panicles branches hairy, bracts narrow and linear flowering bracts linear
the correction may be carried – you please observe there is 3 branches from each axil and see the difference with present specimen again sending the images.
