Very close to Andrographis producta, dear …, thank you very much for ID suggestion. I can’t confirm if it is or not,
After checking all species listed in FoPI, I think it is close to Andrographis stellulata C.B.Clarke as per POWO specimens- one and two.
Yes, it is Andrographis stellulata, dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,
