This herbaceous plant up to 90 cm tall, while still in vegetative condition was found growing along roadsides mixed up with Sesamum, Cassia, Martynia and Parthenium. It has long petioled ovate-cordate thick rugose leaves, reaching 20 cm in width, almost as long and petiole nearly as long as blade. The leaves are crumpled and narrower when young. Undersurface of leaves is whitish. It was still in vegetative condition, growing near Nagrota between Udhampur & Jammu in J & K State. Photographed on August 22. Any clue please.

I have seen H. suaveolens growing in Herbal garden in Delhi. The leaves here are much larger and broader.

It seems like Hyptis suaveolens to me too. But am not sure. I have
been uprooting a lot of Hyptis suaveolens recently while weeding a
plot! Unfortunately I didn't photograph the plant. When the leaves are
crushed it leaves a black colour on your fingers.

Regards,
Sandhya

Dear H S and Sandhya ji

Please also consider that leaves of Hyptis suaveolens are not white underneath, also the leaves are not more than 8 cm long and not more than 4 cm broad as per eFlora of Pakistan, here they are up to 20 cm long and almost as broad. Can we accomodate that under simple variation. I am uploading H. suaveolens  from Delhi.

I too think that this is Hyptis suaveolens of Lamiaceae family. The small plants always have larger leaves than that of larger/ mature plants. 
Any way if we get the flower pictures, it would be easy to confirm the same.

If it is  Xanthium it should be Xanthium strumarium L. only !

Thank you.

Please ignore my two posts about it being Hyptis, written in error. I had deleted both in web thread, but don't know how these reappeared here.
