Pl. confirm it as Barleria prattensis Santapau as per another thread or otherwise.

Both Barleria montana and B. prattensis resemble in their general morphology hence may be confusing. Calyx features seem to be variable so cannot be wholly relied on. But the seed character is distinct enough to distinguish the two species. According to Shendage & Yadav (2010, Revision of genus Barleria in India):

Seeds clothed with appressed-silky hairs -------------- Barleria montana
Seeds glabrous --------------------------------------------------- Barleria prattensis

Many many thanks Vijayasankar ji for this clarity. Though both look similar, I am keen that someone shares with us their collection of B. montana. There is none in the group's database at present! 
Regards.

Thanks Dinesh ji. Yes we need to see authentic pictures (supported with characterization of seeds) for comparison.

After pursuing all the threads at Barleria prattensis and Barleria montana and confusing with detailed description and keys as at Barleria montana? for some time, I finally got clarity.
Descriptions given for the two are overlapping. What stands is the corolla tube being white in Barleria prattensis and not so in Barleria montana 
In view, it is Barleria montana
