Thank you Ajinkyaji, Alokji and Gibyji but is it Galphimia glauca or
G. gracilis? Both almost look the same; how do we distinguish?

This thread should help you:

https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/3668fefe07f37069/68c4627ffd1974e6?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Galphimia#68c4627ffd1974e6

Here is my relevant information from that thread

 G. glauca is distinct in having persistent 
petals often spreading below the fruit, longer and denser inflorescence, 
peduncle much shorter than peduncle (less than 1/2 as long) with bracteoles 
borne well below the tip of peduncle (peduncle 1/2 to almost as long as 
pedicel in G. gracilis; bracteoles at peduncle tip), shorter claw (1.5-2 mm 
in lateral petals, 3-4 in posterior, as against 2-2.5 in lat and 4-5 in 
post. petals in G. gracilis) and shorter fruit (2.5 mm long as against 4.5-5 
mm in G. gracilis).

Thank you, Dr. Gurcharan Singhji. It looks like G.gracilis to me but
shall check the plant again and get back with better picutres.
