Surajit Ji,

This should be Ammania sp., most probably A. baccifera...

Ammania baccifera. This is common in Mysore also near the water tanks.

Sir,

Does the Ammania baccifera looks like this attached picture, taken today (07-05-12), when the season is over?

Or is this the Rumex dentatus as in - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/9xpjlGRc1R0 ?

Thank you & Regards,

Surajit Koley

Your last image is Rumex dentatus, very much distinct from Ammania in its very large leaves, spreading branched inflorescence and winged fruits.

Good morning Sir

Yes, Sir, there are marked differences between the two species on their leaves and inflorescence. I understand now that it is Rumex dentatus, not Ammania baccifera.
