Images of Verbena tenera Spreng. in FOI, I will go with Verbena tenuisecta syn. of Verbena aristigera S.Moore as per details in The Genus Glandularia (Verbenaceae) in Brazil- December 2016 Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden 101(4):699-749- Nataly O'Leary & Verônica Aydos Thode.

It is also mentioned in Flora of Peninsular india as Verbena tenuisecta and Flora of Pakistan

Glandularia pulchella (Sweet) Tronc. syn. Glandularia tenera (Spreng.) Cabrera is slightly different as per per details in The Genus Glandularia (Verbenaceae) in Brazil- December 2016 Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden 101(4):699-749- Nataly O'Leary & Verônica Aydos Thode and appears to have been confused due to its closeness with Verbena tenuisecta syn. of Verbena aristigera S.Moore. Also there is no mention of it in Flora of Pakistan.

Thanks Garg ji,

You are right. The attached close up of the flowers shows stamens not protruding out, an additional confirmation of Verbena aristigera (Syn: Verbena tenuisecta), as compared to Verbena tenera.
