Balakrishnanji, yes indeed the roots smells foetid, a common herb in the high altitudes of Tamilnadu.

From the photo difficult to differentiate Hedyotis, Neanotis.  As per efChina  the difference is in smell and seeds. Mr S Kasim may be able to help he has a picture of Neanotis from Ooty.

Dear All,
This is probably a species of Lindernia or Torenia, belonging to Scrophulariaceae. I could not identify the species.

Agree with Saroj ji. 
 Both Lindernia and Torenia have distinctly asymmetric flowers with bulbous Corolla tube .  These flowers are not so,   have longer acute petal limbs and typical of Spermacoce group of Rubiaceae.
Perhaps NB ji is referring to a different image ?

Any possibility of Neanotis nummularia (Arn.) W.H.Lewis since 
it has distribution in Kerala ?
Thank you.
