Here are details:
A small herb, standing about 30-50 cm tall.
Saw them colonising in spaces near rock walls, rock stairways, normally under cover of large trees.
Flowers tiny, had , about a 10 – 12 mm long X 3 – 4 mm wide; hard time capturing the pale blue colour blending to pure white.
These are on a long raceme, about 10 – 15 cm.
All of them grew along one side of the main stalk.

Please let me know one species of Rhynchoglossum that is confusing close to this R. obliquum.
Will help me understand both of them.
