We have to check with the description of the bracts as below (both from India Biodiversity Portal): *Acalypha malabarica *Müll.Arg. <https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/245850> All spikes axillary and sessile, short, up to 3 cm long, androgynous, finely pubescent. Male flowers ca 0.5 mm across, very few, clustered near the apex of spikes. Female flowers 2-2.5 mm across, *6-8 along the basal portion of the spike*; *bracts* alternate, foliaceous, *subcampanulate, funnel-shaped*, folded, ca 5 mm across, *shallowly toothed, bordered with long gland-tipped hairs along peripheral portion and margin, *pilose, hairy or nearly glabrous, roughly coriaceous, gland-dotted, many-nerved.
*Acalypha lanceolata *Willd. <https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/228604> Spikes axillary, erect, sessile or peduncled and androgynous, 1.5-8 cm long, nearly glabrous or finely pubescent. Three-fourth of the spikes is occupied by female bracts and the male flowers are clustered only at the one-fourth upper portion. *Bracts number about 18-20,* *campanulate to subcampanulate or cup- shaped*, folded, 3-4 mm across, *crenate-dentate, shallowly dentate or conspicuously 9 to 12-toothed with acute teeth along margins, pubescent, strongly parallel-veined, and gland-dotted. * Keeping this in mind, I will also think it to be A. lanceolata only.
