I study members of Euphorbia section Anisophyllum (what used to be Chamaesyce).

Notice the large stipules that spread away from the stem. E. nutans also always has some hairs on the stem that are short and crinkled.
Notice the hairs on the fruit which are not appressed and occur almost exclusively on the edges of the fruits. This differs from E. maculata which has hairs all over the fruit that are appressed.
Euphorbia albomarginata has no hair. E. capitellata is a quite variable species with dense inflorescenses. The most similar to it in the area is probably E. pediculifera or E. melanadenia which both have different leaves than this. Chamaesyce has been moved back to Euphorbia.
E. hypericifolia has larger stipules that spread away from the stem. it also produces much larger, leafless inflorescence. Chamaesyce has been moved back into Euphorbia.
E. hypericifolia has larger stipules that spread away from the stem. Chamaesyce has been moved back into Euphorbia.
E. hypericifolia has larger stipules that spread away from the stem. Chamaesyce has been moved back into Euphorbia.
Try Euphorbia serpens. E. granulata has seperated stipules and these appear to be fused. E. serpens also roots at the nodes, unlike E. granulata. E. serpens (this one would be var. serpens) occurs worldwide.
I don't think this is Euphorbia. E. hirta has bilaterally asymmetric leaves. If you're looking for something within the same family you might try Acalypha, but it may not be in this family as I know very little about the flora of your region.
