It does look like L. chinensis but it is not possible from these pics to be 100 percent sure that it is not L. deccanensis which has solitary umbellules. L. chinensis has umbellules on a peduncles. On the whole L. chinensis has leaves which are less tomentose than L. deccanensis so I vote for that one.
