Nice to be reminded of this plant which I first saw in leech-ridden conditions on my first visit to Nepal in 1990. It is not recorded from Pakistan or Kashmir indeed 'Flowers of the Himalaya' give a distribution from Uttaranachal (as it was) through to SW China & SE Asia.
I have been two Hatu on a couple of occasions but not noticed this there though as has been indicated Collet recorded it there for 'Flora Simlensis' - must be one of its most NW locations. Yes it has dimorphic foliage - cauline leaves variable from orbicular-cordate to ovate or reniform; those on branches fascicled, acicular forming tufts. With berry-like shining red globose fruits one would not automatically think it belonged to the Scrophulariaceae (or was, no doubt transferred to another family now - must check); its flowers are pink.
