A reply:

"It appears to be Canthium rheedii (Rubiaceae).
Usually grow as undershrub in the evergreen/ semi-evergreen forests in Western Ghats
-divakar"

[Giby Kuriakose]

Yes, I think this is Canthium rheedei (please note the spelling) of Rubiaceae family. 

I assume that the plant had thorns in the leaf axils.
