Hi, Vinay ji,

PL. give unique subject to each of your post like Identification VT1, Identification VT2 etc., otherwise many posts with same subject get clubbed in efi threads, causing confusion.

Yes, it's Malvaceae family member(Melochia corchorifolia) only Vinay Ji,

not belongs to Primulaceae why because of petals free clearly, when it belongs Primulaceae they must have petals fused and a long tube,

With regards.
