Dear Saroj ji,
Thank you very much for the Genus ID, the leaves are very matching. When checking Hedyotis hirsutissima, some of my observations are lengthy nodes with spines like stipules, inflorescence is terminally,   less branched, more leaves veins, not angular, but cylindrical, difference in hair pattern, difference in top of flower nodes, petals are not tomentose, more than 20 flower buds, etc.

With kind regards, Sam.

[Saroj Kasaju]

Please check Hedyotis purpurascens Hook.f. also, but less hirsut.

Thank you.

Dear Sashidharan ji,

Thank you very much for the genus ID of my plant.

I think it appears to be close to specimens of Knoxia hookeriana in GBIF (one, two, three, four).
