\nUsing this feature and referring the Hassan flora, I can narrow down to the genera Neanotis, Oldenlandia, Knoxia, Borreria and Mitracarpus<\/i> (please see attached photo again).

Hedyotis eualata<\/i> is different.

Exallage auricularia\u00a0<\/i>(L.) Bremek. ??<\/p>\n

Knoxia sumatrensis<\/i>, perhaps.

Yes, it is Knoxia sumatrensis<\/i> dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,<\/p>\n

\n

Knoxia wightiana<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Knoxia hookeriana<\/a>\u00a0(no details) are also reported from the district<\/span>\u00a0as per Flora of Peninsular India,<\/span> in addition to\u00a0Knoxia sumatrensis<\/a>.

\nAfter going through the description and other details at\u00a0<\/span>Knoxia wightiana<\/a>,\u00a0I also think that it may be\u00a0<\/span>Knoxia sumatrensis<\/span><\/a><\/em>\u00a0only.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knoxia roxburghii<\/i>\u00a0(Sprengel) M. A. Rau may\u00a0also be reported (POWO<\/a>) from the area with keys at\u00a0Flora of China<\/a>.
\nDifficult to check with this image.

Looks different from\u00a0Knoxia roxburghii subsp. brunonis (Wall. ex G.Don) R.Bhattacharjee & Deb<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Knoxia roxburghii var. glauca (W.W.Sm.) R.Bhattacharjee & Deb<\/a>, which may be reported from your area as per\u00a0POWO<\/a>.
