Garg ji, The flowers in the image are actually solitary in leaf axils. They deceptively look like in a corymb. In *Oldenlandia corymbosa *the corymb itself is carried on a peduncle. See the images on POWO <https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:757791-1/images> to see how the corymbs in O. corymbosa look like. Moreover, while *Oldenlandia corymbosa *is an erect plant, *Oldenlandia pumila *is by and large prostrate. Tabish
