Thanks Santhoshji,

Could this be Dentella serpyllifolia?

Dear all,

Many thanks for the help.

Dear Santhishji, is there any other synonym for Anotis quadrilocularis (syn. Neanotis quadrilocularis)? I think it is not earlier reported from Tamil Nadu, so may I ask you the literature  in which this plant is described?
