Dinesh ji
A similar looking plant uploaded by me was identified on this group as Calyptocarpus vialis. I checked on the net and found that these two American species found in lawns are often confused. Calyptocarpus vialis is a much delicate smaller plant with 1-1.5 inch long leaves, where as Synedrella nodiflora is a stouter plant with 1-4 inch long leaves. Can you please enumerate other differences, so that I can place my plant more accurately.

Gurcharan ji,
Leaves of the two plants are very different. A clear difference is
that Cindrella weed has 3 parallel nerves on the leaves. That is not
the case with Calyptocarpus vialis
