It should be Pentatropis nivalis rather than Pentatropis capensis as per details and references herein.

Garg ji, any quick and specific aspect that points to nivalis separating from capensis ?
I ask because there are leaves alone in the posted pictures. This is mangrove habitat. The leaves may grow thick as it matures.
I went through both pages in eFI.
Regards.
Dinesh

Hi, Dinesh ji,
Pl. see images just posted by Lalithamba ji, in which I have marked you in cc. 
Corolla is much shorter in P. capensis and the corona shape and colour is much different.

Garg ji, but in this post, there are no flowers, just long shots of the plant.
Regards.

Hi, Dinesh ji,
Here I am going by other observations in your area as well as little difference in the leaf shape and apex, along with distribution given in Flora of Peninsular India:
