A nice series of images Nidhan ji.

I have labeled my images of this flower as Lindernia caespitosa.

M R Almeida's (Fl MH) keys are based capsule length wrt calyx, which I am unable to compare here (as also in my own set of images) therefore am unable to be absolutely certain.

Had a quick look at FoC but no L. caespitosa mentioned there but something similar in what they label as Deinstema sp. - not sure whether it's applicable to India or not.

Best Wishes,

Samir Mehta
