Hedyotis from Valparai for identification 200712MK02

[Muthu Karthick]

Dear all,

I saw this herb in a rain forest area of western ghats; the habitat was wet rocky. The was trailing up to 30-50cm longer and with leaves of 6x1.5 cm. The flowers are not more than 1cm long. Please help me to identify this plant. I think this Rubiaceae could be a Hedyotis sp.
