What is confusing me is the base of the leaves.

For Rubia cordifolia Linnaeus:

base rounded, truncate, cordulate, or cordate as per FOC

cordate at base rarely rounded as per FOP

For Rubia alata Wallich in Roxburgh:

base rounded to cordulate as per FOC, leaves look different as per FOC illustration 

Regarding Rubia wallichiana Decaisne, FOC says

'The above description and distribution data of Rubia wallichiana have been taken over from H. S. Lo (in FRPS 71(2): 315-316. 1999). There are hardly any differential characters relative to R. cordifolia s.s. aside from vague references to less prickly stems or differences in flower and fruit color (see key). In view of all this, we regard R. wallichiana as a possible synonym of R. cordifolia s.s. but maintain it as a species in the present flora in order to stimulate its clarification'

Rubia charifolia Wall. ex G.Don looks different as per GBIF

So on checking all the species listed in Nepal, it is most likely to be Rubia cordifolia L. or Rubia manjith Roxb. ex Fleming, both species closely related as far as leaves are concerned and distinguished based on flowers.

Dear Dinesh Ji,

So far not in the Nepal list, so no Nepali name.

Thank you.
