== Etymology ==<br />
This species of ''Sonerila ''is named after its type locality [[Baba Budangiri|Babubudangiri hills]] of [[Karnataka]].<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
This shrub is [[perennial]] and grows 8 to 15&nbsp;cm high. The leaves are 3 to 5&nbsp;cm in length and 5 to 8&nbsp;cm long. The leaves are serrate with green color on the top and purple-red underneath. The flowers are pale pink in color. They can be differentiated by similar looking ''[[Sonerila wallichii]]'' by combination of relatively smaller leaves, paler flower color and single inflorescence apart from other characteristics. The flowering and fruiting season is from July to October. <br />
<br />
This species' conservation status was determined to be Data Deficient as only one population was found from the peak of Bababudangiri hills. <br />
