Nidhan ji I think your conclusion about Basilicum polystachyon (O. polystachyon) is more convincing. When I had photographed this plant I had no doubt about its being O. americanum, but when I saw the calyx in photograph (I did not doubt it while photographing, that is why I did not bother to take a close up of calyx) I was in doubt about its being Ocimum, but after checking your photographs and illustration at Flora of China, I am very much convinced about it being Basilicum polystachyon.
