Dinesh, thank you for attaching link

 

I have seen the site. Do you mean this plant is Euphorbia thymifolia? I checked with other site also.

 

But it leaves(purple color on leave) and flower(color of stamen) looks different from my photo.

¿ Are you sure you checked, please look out for:

 

43. Euphorbia microphylla : Cỏ sữa lá tròn
Cỏ nhỏ xíu

 

I am almost believing your plant looks the same as shown there.

[Samir Takaochi]

I see. I have missed it. Yes Euphorbia microphylla looks matching with my photo. But I am still not confident since there is no closed photo of flower and fruit.

 

How do you think about Chamaesyce serpens which I wrote in earlier mail? Flower, leaves, Fruit look like matching with my photo. I d like to hear your opinion.

 

Please see this link as reference.

dear its euphorbia prostata but check it

[Samir Takaochi]

Anil, Garg, thank you very much for your reply.

 

I see. I searched on web, leaves are matching but I was not able to find photo of flower on web. I will check in books common wild flower of india later.

 

Otherwise does someone have idea or photo? If one has please share with me.

 

2009/1/7 Anil Kumar <crazyg...@gmail.com>

[Samir Takaochi]

I have checked on book but it was not there in books common indian wild flowers.

 

As per following site. Syn. of E prostrata is Chamaesyce prostrata  and Euphorbia thymifolia.

 

http://www.nationaalherbarium.nl/thaieuph/ThEspecies/ThEuphorbia.htm

 

I have checked photo of Chamaesyce prostrata on web

 

Stem of prostrata looks purple whereas that of serpens is almost green which match with my photo.

 

I'd like to hear your(Anil, Dinesh) opinion about this point.

[Dinesh Valke]

Samir, I would rather go with Euphorbia serpens (syn.: E. microphylla)

I see the fruit in you herb is relatively large; and the flower too is larger and also shows some length of stalk compared to Chamaesyce thymifolia (syn.; E. thymifolia) I have it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2696436656/
Please review.

Regards.

[Samir Takaochi]

Dinesh, thank you very much for your opinion.

 

I see, you have seen E thymifolia. I feel it too that flower of serpens and that of thymifolia is bit different in size and appearance.

 

Origin of serpens is north america. Does it have indian name as like thymifolia?

[Dinesh Valke]

... found from Dave's botanary ( http://davesgarden.com/guides/botanary/ ) that serpens (SUR-penz) is from the Latin word for snake, possibly referring to the creeping habit or distinctive markings on the flowers ... thus one of meaningful name would be just creeping spurge !!

Other names found at various sites:
-- roundleaf spurge ... http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Portals/3/Abstracts/Abstract_pdf/E/Euphorbia_serpens.pdf 
-- matted broomspurge ... http://fieldguide.mt.gov/detail_PDEUP0D250.aspx
-- matted sandmat, creeping spurge, round-leaved spurge ... http://www.catnapin.com/WildWeeds/Weed/wwEuphorbSandmat.htm (syn. Chamaesyce serpens)

... another useful site: Flora of Zimbabwe ... http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=136360 shows pictures and description

Regards.

[Samir Takaochi]

Dinesh, thank you so much for your kindness!

Its increase my knowledge.

 

Thank you!
