Samir ji, Shrikant ji's FOS shows this herb. But it may not be *S. sensitiva*. I do not have his errata page - have misplaced it. I need to dig it from my disks.
The flowers' raceme of *S. sensitiva* rise from axils. The plant posted here shows flowers nestled at the tip among pair of leaves. Many thanks to Shivaprakash ji to have posted this query and to Tanay and Giby ji for validating the ID. Regards.
