According to Flora of British India, vol4. p728 :-

Distribution :-

   1. *Aerva lanata* Juss. = Plains of Bengal from Dacca to the Indus. The
   Concan, Central India and throughout the Deccan...
   2. *Aerva wightii* Hook.f. = Travancore; at Courtallum, Wight.

Plants :-

   1. *Aerva lanata* Juss. = erect or prostrate, branched from the
   base......
   2. *Aerva wightii* Hook.f. = a low growing bushy plant..., branches
   short woody...... with many stiff branches as thick as a crow-quill....

Leaves :-

   1. *Aerva lanata* Juss. = leaves small petioled elliptic
   orbicular-obovate or orbicular obtuse or *acute*...
   2. *Aerva wightii* Hook.f. = leaves small broadly ovate or elliptic
   obtuse thick....

I can see acute apices of leaves, i think it is *Aerva lanata* Juss.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit
