The same plant was posted by me for a few days before. Still the
identity is not confirmed. But guessed as H. strigosum by Gargji.

http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/27792539f6e0405a/9d14a0eaec35a099#9d14a0eaec35a099

Waiting for some more opinion.

Regards,
Ritesh.

[Vijayasankar]

This is Heliotropium scabrum, i think.
Ritesh ji's plant differs from this one by having narrower leaves and longer racemes, and may qualify to H. strigosum subsp. strigosum as suggested by Garg ji.

Does not match with images at Heliotropium marifolium J.König ex Retz.

[J.M. Garg]

To me it also appears to be Euploca ovalifolia as per images herein & as per images at Useful tropical plants.

It doesnot look Euploca ovalifolia as the structure of the spike is notmatching, leaves are also very small

Thanks, Lalithamba ji.

I agree with you.

I think this could be Heliotropium scabrum as well.

H. scabrum is a highly variable species (I have collected at least three intermediate forms).
This name is currently 'unresolved' by TPL but listed here under the accepted name H. marifolium.
