Hello 

This plant was seen commonly all over Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani. A local informed us that the leaves caused swelling that was not painful and is commonly used by people to swell up the udder of the cattle that are up for sale.

The plant is a shrub of about 1.5 meters in height. The leaves are about 7-10 cms in length and about 2-3 cms in breadth, dark green above and pale below, coriaceous. Calyx and corolla are thickly covered with white hair.

Sorry for a real bad taxonomic description. Please help with the identification

Warm Regards
