Thanks, Mayur ji for the feedback. I think some misunderstanding has crept in due to non-clarification from my side that two pictures with clear backgrounds were taken while holding the herb in hand for better clarity. It was certainly a prostrate herb as is evident in the third picture. I have gone through Srikant ji's book & rule out *Rungia repens* due to smaller size of leaves, prostrate habit & difference in flower.
