[Madhuri Raut]

Kindly Id this small shrub growing wild on the border of a well at Pune

Dec 2011

Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- green

no flowers or fruits 

The care taker said it is called kata mata and is very useful to heal even the deep lacerating wounds

There was a fence around the well  so I could not go closer for dimensions of the plant
