It isn't cultivated. It was found in the forests.

Forwarding again for Id assistance please.

This appears close to images at Polygala species- Chathamattom, Ernakulam, Kerala, which is yet to be identified.

No way Garg Ji,

It's Polygala Only, not Exacum.

Strong evidence: Exacum: opposite leaves, flower actinomorphic, stamens not bundle

Polygala: opposite all the above characters.
