This is what Google states:
"Pouzolzia bennettiana (also classified under the synonym Gonostegia bennettiana) is a plant species from the nettle family (Urticaceae) native to India. Its documentation in the state of Odisha (formerly Orissa) is notably recorded in Volume 3 of the "Flora of Orissa" (1995) by H.O. Saxena & M. Brahmam. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The plant is represented in the region by three distinct botanical varieties distributed across specific hill ranges, river valleys, and districts of Odisha: [1, 2, 3]

1. Pouzolzia bennettiana var. gardneri

• Distribution Localities: Mahendragiri Hills in the Ganjam district.
• Habit & Habitat: Occasional undershrub found growing on hills up to altitudes of 1500 meters in the northern Eastern Ghats. [1]

2. Pouzolzia bennettiana var. acuta

• Distribution Localities: Deomali Hills (Koraput district) and the Mahendragiri Hills (Ganjam district).
• Habit & Habitat: An undershrub native to peninsular India, producing flowers and fruits between June and August. [1]

3. Pouzolzia bennettiana var. quadrialata

• Distribution Localities: Kalahandi and Koraput districts.
• Habit & Habitat: A shrub that is occasionally spotted growing in damp, shaded valleys and close to streams, with its flowering and fruiting season occurring between November and December. [1]"
