Thanks, Saroj ji.

Yes, it may be either Hedyotis indirae (published by Prabhu Kumar ji) as per details herein or Hedyotis beddomei Hook.f. as per GBIF- Specimen.

I think Prabh Kumar ji can confirm.

Appears close to Hedyotis indirae than to H. beddomei

Yes, looks different from Hedyotis beddomei Hook.f. as per

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Hedyotis-beddomei-Hookf-A-Habit-B-C-Inflorescence-D-E-Flower-F-Stipule_fig1_328915796

May be Hedyotis indirae only as per (though I could not see the original publication)

Hi Garg ji,

Apologies for my delayed response. I think H.indirae has pubescent leaves and mine are glabrous.

[J.M. Garg]

I hope other aspects are Ok?
