Great pictures Dinesh ji.

To me this looks like A. ficoidea mainly due to the gregarious habit with more or less erect branches, and stalked leaves.

Many thanks Vijayasankar ji for validating this post.

Was always thinking the contrary - that A. sessilis is of gregarious habit. Also had the thought that the width of leaves of A. ficoidea is larger than the length. Many thanks for straightening my thoughts. Will revise my notes at flickr very soon.

Regards.
