Identification of Boerhavia sp. : 8 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3)

Pl help me in identifying the enclosed specimen of Boerhavia sp, observed at Palladam, Tirupur Dist, Tamilnadu on 19-07-15
Semi erect herb. Leaves dark green.

Boerhavia species so far in efi  

This may be B. verticillata Poir. of Flora of British India.
FoP thinks it is non-Poir.
Relevant illustration in Icones is attached here which TPL thinks is different taxon – http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-2678802.

Thank you Sir so much for sharing.
Please see the KEW herb. (from India) of boissieri – http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000357510 (please note pedicel length).
Perhaps helenae is present in our country – http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.flora.fz6510. KEW herbarium is there but none from India.
This species seems to me C. helenae Roem. & Schult.
Hope BSI soon gift us the family key & description.
