Sir,

 

This is also a very common species. Villagers sometimes use this plant to build a natural boundary wall around their homeyard.

 

Thank you for taking care of this too,

Good evening Garg Sir

Thank you very much for the ID and thanks to Dinesh Ji and Tanay Ji too.

Found some images at http://www.hear.org/starr/images/species/?q=pluchea+indica&o=plants and at http://www.mytho-fleurs.com/images/Fleurs_du_Vietnam/Pluchea_indica.jpg (source : http://www.mytho-fleurs.com/images/Fleurs_du_Vietnam/page_04.htm)/

Also attaching some recent pics, recorded on 18/10/12.

Though leaves of this species are more densely dentate than the ones in the above two links outside India, it is possible ID.

Regards,

surajit
