Dear Saroj Ji,

Difficult for me to guess with these pictures. P. longisetum and P. hydropiper are also closely allied to P. posumbu. If possible, plz check the perianth, seeds and cilia of the ochrea (which should be 6-8mm). I am providing a key (Adopted from Fl. China) for your convenience:

1. Perianth punctate.......................P. hydropiper

1. Perianth not punctate....................................2

2. Leaves ovate-lanceolate or ovate, apex caudate-acuminate, base broadly cuneate....................P. posumbu
2. Leaves lanceolate or broadly lanceolate, apex acute or acuminate, base cuneate or rounded.....P. longiseta.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ritesh.
