This should not be Barleria cuspidata. Barleria cuspidata has thorns almost an inch long, which are about the size of the flower-tube. Barleria prionitis, on the other hand, has thorns about 1 cm long, about half the size of the flower-tube. Also leaves of Barleria cuspidata are narrower, oblong-lanceshaped. Moreover, Barleria cuspidata is endemic to Peninsular India, so not expected to be seen in Haryana. This looks like Barleria prionitis only. Tabish
