I agree with …<\/p>\n

\n

Oh my god, No way …, it’s not Spermacoce pusilla<\/em>,
\nIt’s Oldenlandia<\/em> only because\u00a0Spermacoce pusilla<\/em> have much flowered sessile clusters at axillary and terminal,<\/span>
\nIn this, there is clear pedicellated 1 or 2 flowers at node,<\/span><\/p>\n

OK … ! I thought it has got no distribution in Orissa !<\/p>\n
