Both should be available in wastelands in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, UP and Rajasthan this time of the year.

In A. lanata the flower cluster form very short spikes (0.5-1.5 cm long) in leaf axils; leaves are broader (1-2 cm broad), obovate or elliptic-orbicular

In A. tomentosa flowers occur in up to 10 cm long spikes forming terminal leafless white-woolly panicles; leaves are narrower (0.5-1 cm broad) and leaves linear to linear-oblong in shape.

Dear Alok Ji
Finally we got your plant Aerva lanata. During our Survey of Ambala and Panchkula District on 2nd and 3rd of October, we found lots of A lanata. It is available in Morni area in abundant mainly on Morni Panchkula Highway from a distance of about 18 KM while going to Panchkula to Morni near Village Mandhna. I think this place is very near to you, not more than 30 KMs from Chandigarh. I will upload its photos in a day or two
