Another feature which negates Nidhan ji's plant being S. cuspidata is
number of lateral pairs which are generally 10-15 pairs. Here we can see
only 7-9 pairs.
But then the leaves are almost entire fruits few and emerging from
almost sessile axis. In both S. lanata and S. cuspidata, the flowers are on
large paniculate infl. and fruits would evidently be on branched axis. My
belief got more strengthened after seeing the photograph uploaded by Manoj
ji (could be S. lanata) which is sharply biserrate and somewhat lobed, and
this image of S. cuspidata
