Yes Sir Ji is correct this is indeed from Boraginaceae 

Possibly Pseudomertensia moltkioides (Royle ex Benth.) Kazmi in J. Arn. Arb. 51(3): 380. 1970

Respected Sirs

I have the attached plant under the name Pseudomertensia moltkioides.

Kindly confirm if both the species are same or different.

Thanks and regards

Suresh Rana

[Tanay Bose]

Yes this is Pseudomertensia moltkioides  I think you posted this

plant previously which I tried to identify.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Yes this second photograph is more likely P. moltkioides. The corolla tube is definetly more than twice as long as Calyx. For specific identity of first plant, close up of flower or side view of flower to expose length of corolla tube is necessary.

[Suresh Kumar Rana]

Respected Sirs

The length of corolla tube in the first species is shorter as compared to second one. Attaching another side view of plant for further identification clues.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Calyx is not clearly visible, but P. trollii could be considered.

“Both this and other plant identified as P. moltkoides need to be relooked, as typical Pseudomertensia should have erect corolla lobes (and not spreading).” from Singh ji.
