Could not make out which one is this. Leaf pattern looks like Hypericum podocarpoides but shape does not match.

I think a similar plant with close ups was posted by you recently. 

Is this the same ? 

I was talking of the same post. Pl. Check if it is the same. 

To me these appear to be similar to your images in another thread and identified as Hypericum cordifolium
