Nice pictures Bharathi! Both *Barleria montana* and *B. prattensis* are morphologically similar, hence often confusing. I remember collecting *Barleria montana* from Paruvathamalai hills. The seeds in this species are hairy. If you see glabrous seeds, then it could be *B. prattensis*. Also refer to the paper in this link for additional differences and details: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265981818_Revision_of_the_Genus_Barleria_Acanthaceae_in_India
