The distribution given at various sites should not be taken at face value because a distribution of a locality may get added because it was treated as a synonym of another species. Even when the naming is fixed, the distribution does not get automatically fixed. The plant with purple upper-lip flowers is found in the Himalayas and also Maharashtra, as the posts on eFI show. However no one has yet posted a plant with brown upper-lip flowers on eFI. So my guess is that it might be confined to Southern Western Ghats and probably China and SE Asia. The Keralaplants page for Lindernia sessiliflora <http://www.keralaplants.in/keralaplantsdetails.aspx?id=Lindernia_sessiliflora> also mentions a brown upper lip.
