Scoparia dulcis
Iobserved this plant near Paud in Ghat section by the roadside.
From a distance I thought it to be a Lamiaceae member.
On close observation the flowers appeared to be regular.
After going through earlier discussions and checking FFOS I think this is Scoparia dulcis.
This is a small herb with very smallflowers of about 8 mm.
Leaves are characteristic. In my specimen ...not exactly opposite but 3 in a whorl fashion. sessile with serrate margin.
The flower has 4 sepals and petals.I don't know how many stamens and carpels.....
Earlier placed in Scrophulariaceae; now placed in Family Plantaginaceae.
From earlier discussion on the group
......dulcis means sweet.
......Interestingly it is called as sweet broom and also bitter broom.
...... I remember observing some different brooms in villages; these must be from the dried twigs of this plant.
