A reply:

"Sapporting Dr Giby

Santhosh"

[Giby Kuriakose]

I think the reply is from Dr E S Santhosh Kumar. 

Thank you for the same.

Dear Manudev, 

This is not L. antipoda the leaves in L. antipoda is not so broader, flower is also slightly different. 

Further the id in the given link is also not conclusive as the plant given in that thread and my thread (this thread) looks similar. 

Thanks and Regards,

Giby
