Hedyotis indirae ??

Thanks, Saroj ji.
Yes, it may be either Hedyotis indirae(published by Prabhu Kumar ji) as per details herein or Hedyotis beddomei Hook.f. as per GBIF– Specimen.

I think … can confirm.

Appears close to Hedyotis indirae than to H. beddomei

Yes, looks different from Hedyotis beddomei Hook.f. as per
May be Hedyotis indirae only as per (though I could not see the original publication)
I think H.indirae has pubescent leaves and mine are glabrous.

I hope other aspects are Ok?
