Thanks for posting this plant. I collected it from Panchmari but alas there was no flower
I had never seen this plant so far. Thanks ... for posting.
At first look i thought that it some distorted form of Spermacoce ocymoides.

Saw this plant at the Sadawaghapur plateau near Satara. MH in October 2019.
Seems to be some Rubiaceae member.
Requested to please provide ID, if possible.
Spermacoce sp.
I guess Spermacoce ocymoides Burm.f. !
It could be Mitracarpus hirtus,

Thanks you ... for possible IDs.
Mitracarpus hirtus stems do not look hairy as per Mitracarpus, however, some pics in Spermacoce ocymoides do look hairy.
The posted plant stem is very hairy as can be seen in Pic 2.
Would request further help from members.

Please cross verify with Fwd: Spermacoce ocymoides Burm.f. (accepted name) ??? if it matches?

Yes ..., it does seem to match your plant.
Let see if we get validation from others as well.
ID suggested on FB as well - Spermacoce ocymoides 

Can anybody find out the difference/ keys between Spermacoce ocymoides and Mitracarpus hirtus (syn: Spermacoce hirta L.) ?

Ovules many in each locule....Mitracarpus 
Ovule single in each locule.....Spermacoce,

Thanks, ...  But we want keys/ differences that we can check in a flowering plant. 

That both plants have most of the characters overlapping ..., 

As I am not finding the difference between the two online and also the details from the same source. Let us examine their descriptions for clues.
Mitracarpus hirtus (Linnaeus) Candolle from Flora of China:
Herbs, annual, branched, 40-80 cm tall; branches flattened to subterete or 4-angled, sometimes becoming woody in lower part, sparsely hirsute to villous. Leaves sessile; blade drying thinly papery, elliptic-oblong or lanceolate, 3-4.5 × 0.7-1.5 cm, adaxially scaberulous and usually also sparsely villosulous or pilosulous, abaxially moderately to densely villous or pilose, base acute to obtuse or rounded, apex acute; secondary veins 3-6 pairs; stipule sheaths 1-4 mm, villosulous or pilosulous to glabrescent, with 1-9 setae 1-5 mm. Inflorescences 5-20 mm in diam. (not including subtending leaves), villosulous or pilosulous; bracts linear, 1-2 mm. Calyx sparsely to densely puberulent or strigillose; ovary portion subglobose to ellipsoid, ca. 0.5 mm; limb deeply lobed; lobes unequal, triangular to lanceolate, 2 larger 1.8-2 mm, 2 smaller 0.8-1.2 mm, ciliate. Corolla funnelform, outside puberulent to glabrous; tube 1-1.5 mm, glabrous inside; lobes triangular to ovate, 0.5-1 mm, obtuse to acute. Capsules subglobose, ca. 1 mm in diam., scaberulous or sparsely puberulent; seeds dark brown, oblate-suboblong, ca. 0.8 mm. Fl. and fr. Apr-Nov.
Wastelands at highway sides; near sea level to 800 m. Hainan (Wanning), Hong Kong, Yunnan [native to the Antilles and Central, North, and South America; naturalized in tropical Africa, Asia, Australia, and Pacific islands].
Spermacoce ocymoides Burm.f. from PIER:
A weak erect, decumbent or procumbent annual herb, usually ± well-branched, 3-40 cm tall, with fine fibrous roots; stems with sparse to fairly dense crisped hairs on the ± wing-like prominent angles. Leaf-blades elliptic to elliptic-lanceolate, 0.4-3.6 cm long, 0.25-1.6 cm wide, rounded to ± acute at the apex, concavely narrowed into the petiole at the base, glabrous on both surfaces save for short marginal hairs or ± pubescent on the main nerve beneath; petiole 0-8 mm long, with scattered hairs; stipules with base 2 mm long, bearing ± 7 fimbriae 1-3 mm long.  Flowers in small few-flowered clusters at many of the nodes, attaining 3-6 mm in diameter in the fruiting state; stipule-like bracteoles with fimbriae 1.8-2 mm long. Calyx-tube transversely oblong, 0.5 mm long; lobes 2 (-4), 0.6-0.8 mm long, ciliate. Corolla white; tube 0.3 mm long; lobes triangular, 0.35 mm long, 0.3-0.4 mm wide, with a few short hairs inside.  Anthers situated just above the sinuses of the corolla-lobes.  Style ± 0.2 mm long; stigma 0.2 mm wide.  Fruit oblong, 1 mm long, 0.8 mm wide, 0.5-0.7 mm thick, compressed, finely transversely wrinkled and very shortly pubescent.  Seeds chestnut-brown, oblong-ellipsoid, 0.7-0.8 mm long, 0.4 mm wide, 0.3-0.35 mm thick, strongly reticulate with raised ribs, the foveae elongated in the direction of the short axis" (Verdcourt, 1976; p. 361).
But description in Flora of Thailand  appears to be sketchy as also in Flora of Peninsular India.
Spermacoce ocymoides Burm.f. looks much different as per images and specimens at GBIF as below:
In view I will go for Mitracarpus hirtus (Linnaeus) Candolle

I could not find Spermacoce ocymoides Burm.f. in either Flora of China or Flora of Pakistan.



On 11/10/09 in Ananthagiri HIll forest in Rangareddy district of Andhra Pradesh.
You are right, ... I think we need to have photos of all species of this kind of confusing genera for a clear understanding. So far we have pictures of Spermacoce articularis, pusilla, and stricta isn't it?
Thanks a lot, … I think only Spermacoce articularis, pusilla, and hispida

Small flower-heads-Flower shape clear only thro' photograph.. Pic taken towards Gende Hosalli, Karnataka on 11-1-09. Request ID.
this could be Spermacoce ocymoides ... please look through earlier discussions.

Location: Chautara , Nepal

Spermacoce ocymoides Burm.f. (accepted name)   ???
Borreria laevicaulis (Miq.) Ridl. (synonym)
Some confusion:
1. Spermacoce ocymoides Burm.f. not listed in Nepal but CoL showing
    syn as Borreria laevicaulis (Miq.) Ridl. which is listed in Nepal.
2. Google showing different plants for both ID.
3. Sample picture is only couple of flowers available rest all dried so 
    looks like matching with flowering  month of September as in FoI  
I think matches with images under threads at Spermacoce ocymoides

I have a problem with this specie, I attach some photos. I need you help to confirm, what is the name of this plant? 
I check on the Internet maybe is Spermacoce ocymoides or Borreria ocymoides.
Do you have the specific name?
I think yes- matches with images at threads under Spermacoce ocymoides in efloraofindia
