The corolla should be distinctly bi-lipped to be species of
Lepidagathis.

Here the corolla is not bi-lipped hence not a species of
Lepidagathis.

The distinction between Dyscoriste and Phaulopsis is too difficult
without having the specimen in hand as most of the key characters are
minute and are not visible in pictures (placenta, bracteoles, etc).

But considering one distinguishing character, according to Gamble, I
think this is Phaulopsis imbricata with slight difference from
specimens from further south.

The distinguishing character is, according to Gamble, in Dyscoriste
the flowers are produced in axillary clusters here it is apparently
terminal.

Furhter, D vagans has blue flowers according to Gamble!

Again, the character of flower becoming scarious (Thin, membranous,
and dry) upon age is visible in the second picture, I assume.


Now my bet is for Phaulopsis imbricata.

Ref: Flora of Presidency of Madrass by Gamble pp. 1003-1068.

Gamble mentioned P. imbricata with its present synonym Micranthes
oppositifolius.



Thanks and Regards,
Giby
