Many thanks HS for wanting to validate the plant ID. As said earlier, I am not querying IDs of photos put in the posts with subject line having words "Names of Plants in India"
Here are details: A small herb, standing about 30-50 cm tall. Saw them colonising in spaces near rock walls, rock stairways, normally under cover of large trees. Flowers tiny, had , about a 10 - 12 mm long X 3 - 4 mm wide; hard time capturing the pale blue colour blending to pure white. These are on a long raceme, about 10 - 15 cm. All of them grew along one side of the main stalk. Please let me know one species of *Rhynchoglossum* that is confusing close to this *R. obliquum*. Will help me understand both of them. Regards.
