Dear Balkar Ji,

I also think this plant is Alternanthera sessilis (Linn.) DC., Cat. Hort. Monsp. 77. 1813. Hook. f., Fl. Brit. Ind. 4: 731. 1885; Stewart, Ann. Cat. Vasc. PI. W. Pakistan: 229. 1972; Aellen in Rech. f., Fl. Iranica Lf. 91: 18. 1972.

 

Synonym: Alternanthera nodiflora, Alternanthera repens, Gomphrena sessilis, Illecebrum sessile

 

Family: Amaranthaceae

 

Further Details: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200006977

This is a very common weed in West Bengal and found growing in damp soils ubiquitously.

 

Regards

Tanay
