Thank you, Pankaj Ji and Tanay Ji, once again.

Found more beautiful pics of this species by Gurcharan Sir -  https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/rumex$20dentatus/indiantreepix/jmIVbPjutxA/CHpHmhgUTS8J

Also learned from wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumex_dentatus ) that those greenish white growth in the center of the flowers are called tubercles! Now could you tell me please why they are there?

Regards,

surajit
