Many species are supposed to have stable (genetically fixed) variants under different ecological conditions. These are better known as ecotypes, although some call them varieties or subspecies (different areas), and some enthusiastic persons giving them ranks of independent species. It is common to have erect and prostrate types in many species including our Euphorbia hirta. In fact this concept of ecotypes was developed simultaneously in Europe (Hieracium vulgatum) and California (Potentilla fruticosa) around 1822.

Forgot to mention, prostrate types generally develop under areas of intense grazing and trampling, erect types under undisturbed areas.

totally agree with Sirji, i observed that the plant growing near water logged area or near lake, are prostrate and plant growing singly in the garden or on the road side are erect and also smaller in size..

Eclipta prostrata reminds me of our visit to Rudarpur on way to Nainital. We stayed for the night there while on way to Nainital at our cousin's place. Nearly half of the family went out early in the morning to seek an important herbal medicine from a a guru in a distant village. In the afternoon when they came back, I asked them about it, and the lady of the house told me that guru had given them a herb brought from a deep forest. She opened a knot of her dupatta and showed me the plant. I asked her to come along and showed her a number of plants of Eclipta prostrata growing along the sewer drain outside their wall. She was both astonished and happy.

This is an important medicinal plant. Please read the interesting and
useful article by Mrs. Sheila Rani Chunkat on its importance for
the preparation of 'bhringaraja' oil and other medicinal uses in
Ayurveda. The link is provided below.
http://www.hindu.com/2000/04/02/stories/1302048d.htm
Extract from the article:
Karisalankanni, as it is known in Tamil (bhringaraj - Sanskrit), is
one of the 10 auspicious herbs of the Dasapuspam group (10 flowers).
There are three varieties of bhringarajah - blue, white and yellow.
The Latin name for both the blue and the white varieties is Eclipta
prostrata (earlier called Eclipta alba). The Tamil name is
karasalankanni. The white variety grows wild and is easily available.
The blue variety is rare and found on hilly slopes. The Latin name for
the yellow variety is Wedelia chinensis (also sometimes known as
Wedelia calendulacea) and is called manjal karisalankanni in Tamil.
The yellow variety is not easily available in the wild and is
generally grown in homes. The three varieties of karisalankanni belong
to the same family - Asteraceae.

so plants are using their innate intelligence in the PRESENT TENSE...
not in some nebulous future, as in Darwin's theory of successive
generations developing survival tactics...

Correct, the most of the Bhringraj we saw during our AYurvedic herbal
botany training in Gujarat Ayurvedic Univ. many years ago ..were
growing near waste water pipes, esp if they leaked.... yuk...
Bringraj grows best with drip irrigation , slow but steady round the
clock water supply that drains away.. I tried it in my balcony with an
old shirodhara gazzette one summer/fall...
in your story... better the guru bring the herbs from the supposedly
clean forest ...
but, if she ate those sewer drain water watered herb, she would be
loaded up with toxins...
then she would be in deep fire having rescued herself from the frying
pan of having to walk to the guru...
