Tanay could be right with his justification ... but to me the look of plant seems different, the stem, leaves and flowers they all seem different. Leaf texture of *B. lacera* is more like felt material, the colour is light (read: bright) green ... these two qualities are also seen in *B. oxyodonta* .
Could this be some variety of *B. paniculata* ? ... other than these two: var. *paniculata* and var. *muralis* ... these I have seen in Satish Pardeshi ji's works at Floristic Survey of Institute of Science (http://iscmumbai.maharashtra.gov.in/floristic%20survey.html) I think I have extended Gurcharan ji's doubt. Me too would like some comment(s) for clarification. Regards.
