Please identify this Herb

[Muthu Karthick]

The plant is densely distributed locally in an abut agricultural field, 80km south of Chennai (Kancheepuram Dist. of TN).

Taken last week soon after the rains.

It grows ca. 15cm tall with thick hirsute leaves.

I suspect the plant is a Scrophularaceae member.

Experts please help to identify.
