– It is very close to Hedyotis purpurescens<\/i> & H. swertioides<\/i> but defenitely not H. barberi <\/p>\n
\n

– <\/i>This plant looks very close to Hedyotis purpurascens<\/i> Hook.f. because of the presence of ovate-stipule.
<\/font>This can’t be H. swertioides<\/i> as it is more than 2 feet and not possessing ovate leaves. <\/span><\/div>\n
