Requested to please validate the ID...
It looks like Ocimum species.
Thank you again ..., yet another unknown. I wish I could spend hours after hours browsing all threads so that I can learn as many as species ids.
... is correct. The Meriandra bengalensis is different as I have seen it.
Thanks ... It was identified as such on another forum... Would like to know the correct ID.....
Ocimum species so far in efi 
Isn't it Ocimum americanum (= O. canum)?!
Thank you ... for the ID....Hoping to get it validated....
Looks like Sweet Basil. Ocimum basilicum.
Meriandra benghalensis is a synonym of Salvia dianthera (see here-http://plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:456098-1) but this plant is not Salvia in my opinion. Rather it should be in Ocimum genus.
Please compare with available Ocimum species in eFI.
Could be Ocimum sanctum.
