Balkar ji 

This is neither Crotalaria juncea or C. mucronata, the two species known by the name san or sann and used as fiber, nor Hibiscus cannabinus (Ambari, patsan, pitwa) yielding mesta or kenaf fiber. It appears interesting.

Dear Gurcharan Ji
I am searching literature for 2-3 days for this plant.
This plant is being cultivated since long time in Haryana particularly along sugarcane fields and commonly called as san also patsan sometime. Cots (Charpai) Most of the Charpais were/are built from fibres of this plant as i have seen from my childhood. However it is rarely seen now, due to non availability of ditches for its retting.

Some features matches with H gossipyfolia as given in eFlora of Pakistan

Perhaps you will have to watch it carefully. H. gossypifolia (H. sabdariffa) has characteristically red fleshy calyx that can't be missed that is why it has common names like Lal-ambari, patwa, lal-mista, lal-ambadi.

I find there is lot of confusion between efloras of Pakistan and China. Pakistan Flora considers  H. cannabinus as synonym of H. sabdariffa (with calyx covered with whitish tomentum) and H. gossypifolia with same H. sabdariffa L. as synonym with red fleshy calyx. Flora of China considers H. sabdariffa and H. cannabinus as two distinct species, former with red calyx and latter without red calyx and with white tomentum.

    In addition all these species unlobed lower leaves and lobed upper leaves. Your plant seems to have even upper leaves without lobes.

Dear All
This plant has done a headache to me
I think i should think upon it tomarrow
Eflora.org has created a lot of confusion
In  flora of Haryana by Jain, Flora of Delhi i could not get any hint
However Flora of Haryana by S Kumar indicates towards H cannabinus

Leaf morphology not match with our plant

Description from Flora of Pakistan
Hibiscus cannabinus Linn.

An annual or perennial, simple or branched herb. Stem with sparse, simple, bulbous, spiny hairs. Blade ovate and not lobed in the lowermost part, in the upper part 3-7 partite; lobes elliptic-lanceolate, coarsely serrate, nearly glabrous on both sides; stipules 6-8 mm long, filiform; petiole 4-15 cm long, almost somewhat spiny near the top. Flowers axillary, solitary, subsessile; epicalyx segments 7-8, linear, 6-10 mm long, sparsely prickly. Calyx fused at the base, 1-2.5 cm long, wooly, also setose or prickly, lobes long acuminate-aristate, with a swollen, linear gland on the central nerve at the base. Corolla yellow with a crimson centre, 3-5 cm across; petals obovate, 4-6 cm long, 2-4 cm broad. Staminal column inserted. Capsule 1.5-2 cm long, c. 1 cm across, conical, beaked, appressed-setose. Seeds many, 2-3 mm long, brown.

Lectotype: Comm. Hort. 1:35.t.18.1701.

Distribution: It is common in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is difficult to state its native home.

It is cultivated in Pakistan for fibre which is white, soft and silkys. In quality it is said to be equal to jute and may be employed for all purposes for which jute is suitable. The seeds are fed to cattle and poultry, and sometimes oil is extracted which is useful as a lubricant. Various parts are also said to be medicinally important.

Based on the Illustration In Eflora ,Org I don't think this can be Hibiscus cannabinus

I think it is Hibiscus cannabinus only.

 

Flora of China reads "...leaf blade dimorphic; blades on proximal part of stem cordate, those on distal part of stem palmately 3-7-lobed..."

Also pl see this diagram: http://database.prota.org/PROTAhtml/Photfile%20Images%5CLinedrawing%20Hibiscus%20cannabinus.gif

It is Hibiscus, which is full of Aphids and one big ant is enjoying honey dew which it is getting as a reward form aphids to bring them on the plant. I can not say which var.
