… please see this link Thanks, … Yes, I agree with this being Sopubia delphinifolia
This should be Sopubia delphinifolia rather than Sopubia trifida as per details herein.
I think linear calyx lobes and larger corolla suggests S. delphinifolia Calyx teeth are deltoid (not filiform) and as long as tube (longer in S. delphinifolia) hence this is S. trifida. The flowers are smaller (1 cm) and of uniform pink colour as compared to S. delphinifolia. S. delphinifolia occurs on dry grasslands.

Requested to please provide ID.
Looks more close to Micrargeria wightii. Calyx is the key … reflexed long pointed lobes … Parasopubia delphinifolia. The description in Micrargeria wightii states
“calyx tube 1.5 cm, campanulate, lobes spreading above”
The description in Sopubia delphinifolia states
“calyx 9 mm long, tube ribbed, lobes acuminate, scabrid”
I am a bit confused between Micrargia wightii and Sopubia delphinifolia. Parasopubia delphinifolia (syn Sopubia delphinifolia). No doubt about it. . Please validate Parasopubia delphinifolia from Madaparai, kerala. Photographed in September, 2029
