Balkar-ji, Aruna-ji. Thanks for the inputs.

Yes it is H.ovalifolium Forssk., matches the description and photos.

The inflorescences seen were mostly terminal and often doubled .

The leaves are 2 cm or less, mucronate. 
They also  have a conspicuous midvein, obscure lateral veins and are villous both sides, as seen in most images.

Thanks and regards

ASinha
