To me appears close.

Yes, many thanks Garg ji.

It looks close to L. oleoides; and is clearly different from L. wightiana illustrated in the article: Arigela, Ravi & Ahamed Kabeer, Althaf & Murthy, Gvs. (2021). Endemic flowering plants in Kodaikanal Wildlife Sanctuary, Tamil Nadu, India. NeBIO. 12. 1-20.
