Well, I don't know about other species, but it is unlikely to be Spermacoce ramanii. I read that the two species, although being quite similar, do not interbreed because of separated flowering periods. S. pusilla flowers from July to September and S. ramanii flowers from late October to November. Although Sushmita's picture is named "..Oct08- 062..", the EXIF information shows that it was taken on 28th September. Cheers! - Tabish
