I (partially!) agree with both of your views. The second image in FOI, tagged as Ammannia baccifera, could be A. octandra. And Dinesh ji's link for A.baccifera contains pictures of a Borreria (=Spermacoce) species. ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/3976733272/lightbox/) It doesn't look like Mitracarpus, and it is not Hedyotis for sure.
