I think Dinesh's plant is Lecanthus obtusus, which was for long considered a synonym of L. peduncularis, but is a much shorter, delicate herb, with short peduncles. I am attaching the original description and drawing of Lecanthus peduncularis var. garhwalensis, which is now a synonym of Lecanthus obtusus. On my recent visit to Dhanaulti, I saw Lecanthus peduncularis growing in great numbers and realized how robust a plant it is. That made me relook into the much shorter and delicate plant we had also found earlier. Leaves of L. peduncularis are acute to acuminate, never obtuse as seen in Dinesh's plant.

Thanks Tabish, for pointing to Lecanthus obtusus (Royle) Hand.-Mazz. - it has very limited distribution in India - endemic to Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand.
Hoping that Garg ji and other friends familiar with this genus will give their thoughts and resolve the ID.
Regards.
Dinesh

Pl. check with GBIF specimens of Lecanthus obtusus from Nilgiris (one and two).

Yes, the herbarium specimens agree with my understanding of Lecanthus obtusus. The leaf margins in this species vary from being toothed to being almost entire. I think Dinesh's plant agrees with this species. Prominent features are the small size of this plant, and the short peduncles. I am attaching an image of a typical Lecanthus peduncularis plant to contrast it with.

I think images at https://efloraofindia.com/2021/10/29/lecanthus-pileoides/ (from Alka ji, Sushant ji and Saroj ji), may also be of Lecanthus obtusus (Royle) Hand.-Mazz. as Lecanthus pileoides S.S.Chien & C.J.Chen not reported from India.

Garg ji,
  I agree with you on this. Sushant and Saroj's plants agree very well. Alka ji's plant does appear to be a bit different, but I think Lecanthus obtusus is the closest match with the right distribution.
