A herb found growing by roadside in Delhi (October). Leaves and
branches seemed covered with white powdery stuff.
Somehow seemed as if I had seen it somewhere before, but unable to
identify. Any ideas?

Dear Tabish, would it be Aerva species ... A. lanata, if not then could it be some species of Nothoaerva ?
Regards.

Aerva seems quite plausible. Could be A. lanata too - can't be sure.

Thanks Nayan and Dinesh for the ID. Looks like the woolliness of the
leaves is variable. They do not look as woolly in Dinesh's picture

... perhaps my plant's woolliness is affected by creek-side habitat.

Aerva lanata seems to be the universal view on this plant. As Dinesh
says, tt looks like the woolliness of the leaves depends on the
habitat.
I take this plant to be identified as Aerva lanata.

Dear all,
 
'Aerva lanata' is called 'KapurMadhuri' 'कापूरमाधुरी' / 'Kumrapindi' 'कुम्रपिंडी' in Marathi.
