This is Hydnophytum formicarum (Rubiaceae) the famous ant plant. This plant mostly occurs in Mangrove trees but i have noticed them also in high altitude areas like Mount Harriet, Mount ford and Saddle peak in Andaman Islands. This is a very interesting plant having a bulb with numerous channels in it housing ant colonies. The ants in turn helps to protect herbivory to some extent but the main advantage to the plant if the excreta and other residues left but ant provides nutrition to the plant.

Re: [efloraofindia:69833] Haplanthodes verticillatus
... this is a name coined to suit the nature of the plant ... alludes to the general appearance and form of the crowded leaves occurring in whorls at the plant top ... the leaves have two spinous teeth at the tip and are covered with long spreading hair.
