Thanks dear Mahadeswara ji, for the kind words. When I saw the plant at site, I looked at the texture of stem quite a few times, and it seemed matching that of Memecylon !!! Many many thanks to Radha - she pointed out the error in iNaturalist, and I see she has pointed it out here too, which I realized only when I looked through our group posts on web. Regards. Dinesh
