Yes, Desmodium gangeticum of Fabaceae family.

Orila in Malayalam Pulladi in Sidha (Tamil, I guess. Vijayji or
Muthuji please clarify this) Shalaparni in Sanskrit.
It is used as a valuable medicine. At least in Kerala, the population
is declining because of uncontrolled harvest from it's natural
habitat.
