This should be some Lindernia.

To me it appears more as Lindernia crustacea (L.) F. Muell. Very
common in Arunachal Pradesh.

Pl have a look on the images provided on this link

Ritesh.

Thanks, Tanay ji & Ritesh ji,

A few links of Lindernia crustacea:

http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Brittle%20False%20Pimpernel.html (FOI),

http://www.hear.org/starr/images/species/?q=lindernia+crustacea&o=plants (Hawaii),

http://www.hear.org/Pier/species/lindernia_crustacea.htm (PIER)

 

But upper lip doesn't look like two lobed though other things appear to match.

But certainly it doesn't look like Lindernia grandiflora as per links:

Dear Gargji,

Thanks for pointing out the variation. I am not sure but the upper lip character seems to be variable..

According to Flora of China .........upper lip ovate, sometimes shallowly 2-lobed.

Shall wait for other comments.

Regards,
Ritesh.

[Gurcharan Singh]

the calyx is clearly winged, I would go with Torenia, possibly T. asiatica
