Neil Sir, I also think my species is not *L. asiatica*. It could have been *L. indica* if it was glabrous, specially the under surface of the leaves. But the plants i photographed were hairy all over. Leaves are never glabrous on any side.
So, i think the species i am concerned with is either *L. aequata* or *L. robusta*. It will be tough to check for those "abaxial disks" if they look like the ones in fig12 of FoC illustration - http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=93670&flora_id=2. Thank you very much for helping me to zero in to my target.
