Singhji, the spines appear to be glabrous to indicate T. rhomboidea,
however there is clear distinction in leaves; ovate-lanceolate for T.
pilosa, 3-5 lobed for T. rhomboidea and orbicular for T. rotundifolia.
I am not aware of other species. Regards, Shrikant

Though this is pretty mundane stuff around my farm, realised that over the past few years had inadvertently forgotten to photograph them.
