I think it should be Spermacoce pusilla<\/i> Wall.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per comparative images at Spermacoce<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and as per keys at Flora of China<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

I mean here S.remota<\/i> is correct.<\/p>\n

Thanks, …,<\/div>\n
I do not think it is Spermacoce remota<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per images and details\u00a0& references herein.<\/div>\nBut it may be not be Spermacoce pusilla<\/i> Wall.<\/span><\/a> either.

Thanks \u2026 for providing useful links, I do agree that it is quite difficult to conclude based on these pics only..
\nBut I am equally surprised that the leaves do not fully match with any of the available pics or description, as they are markedly stiff as well as pointed at tip, a feature which should not have been missed, if it belongs to any of these taxa…!!
\nThanks for your efforts \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\n
I think it matches.<\/div>\n
Pl. see gbif specimen one<\/a> and two<\/a><\/div>\n

It looks like very much matching with your images but not sure about the ID,<\/div>\n
and it is not listed in Nepal. How can we verify?
