The capsules look warty, a feature of Phyllanthus virgatus, to me. I can be wrong but. Please check.

It's true, they are. I'm slightly confused because in BSI Flora it mentions green flowers for P. debilis.  Can this be a variable character?

In Phyllanthus simplex  (virgatus) the fruiting pedicels are long and inverted.

That's great. Perfect match. I confirm this as a new record for Maharashtra. Recently (in 2019) Phyllanthus narayanswamii has been merged under P. virgatus/P. simplex without seeing the recent Indian collections but these images are clearly showing the differences. Thank you so much for resurfacing.

Best,

Tapas

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Tapas ji
