Though mentioned as a common weed throughout India, I saw this plant Hybanthus enneaspermus (L.) F.V.Muell. (Violaceae) today (28.5.16) only in Pantnagar.
I was unaware of the ID of plant but it hardly took to reach Violaceae (its family) following key to the families of flowering plants by Hutchinson (1973). Later it was even easier to reach the genus and species following Flora of India vol-2 and efloraofindia.

It is a small herb, 10-15 cm tall, found in rock crevices in Velugonda of E.ghats.
the stems angular, hispid. the leaf ovate,1.2-2 cm long, 0.6-1.3 cm wide, more hispid than H.enneaspermus, margin crenate; the leaf is serrate and linear oblong 2-4 cm long 0.3-0.6 cm wide, glabrascent or scabrid in H.ennaespermus. The flowers are light pink and mauve without a pouch that is seen in H.ennaespermus. seeds incipiently ridged and a disc shaped pit at the apex. where as the seeds are conspicuously striate in H.ennaespermus and raised pit like part is seen.
I request the learned friends please confirm if it is Hybanthus ennaespermus or some other species. Hybanthus species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) very interesting species; thanks for sharing It may go to Hybanthus travancoricus It is not Hybanthus travancorius because it is a shrub as per Gamble. It is a herb, the odd petal also lacks dark striations commonly seen in Hybanthus ennaeospermus To me this also appears to be Hybanthus enneaspermus (L.) F.Muell. as per ID requested for this Hybanthus sp. Yes it is Hybanthus enneaspermus only I request for the identification of the Hybanthus sp. attached herewith.
Unable to conclude with efi page:
Habit: Much branched hispid herb.

It may be Hybanthus enneaspermus var. latifolius. It is Hybanthus enneaspermus only; it is a variable species; I too collected ovate leaved specimen, few plants are not quite erect also. but BSI confirmed it a variable species since floral chracters remain same.

Charaata, purusharatna in Kannada. Very useful in ayurveda & Siddha medicines. Plenty around my house during rainy season. Right now the area is cleared. Hence no photos possible. Common in open fields in Southern India
