Good morning Sir

Thank you very much for confirming. But, FoC says that the leaves in Gonostegia hirta (Blume) Miq. are opposite.

Regards,

With alternate leaves we have the possibility of G.pentandra as per FoC. Which looks like attached image. I feel your plant is not closer to G.pentandra; or it is yet not with well developed flowers.

Sir,

Thank you, very very much, for helping.

Yesterday, i also thought of  G. pentandra, but stopped short of. Instead i set it to our group.

Bengal Plants has 5 Pouzolzia, i copy below -

I. Lobes of the male perianth convex or gibbous, on the back

• 1) P. indica Gaud. : leaves mostly alternate, base cuneate, nerves 1 pair above the basal.... = In most of the provinces
• 2) P. indica var. alienata Wedd. : leaves mostly opposite, base rounded, nerves 1 pair above the basal..... = In all the provinces
• 3) P. auriculata Wight : leaves all alternate, nerves many, branching; stamens always 5 = Chota Nagpur

II. Lobes of male perianth abruptly inflexed about the middle, transversely folded at the flexure, hence the buds truncate; leaves with three simple primary leaves running nearly or quite to leaf apex :-

• 4) P. pentandra Benn. : stem terminating in a bracteate spike = Orissa, Chota Nagpur (FI informs it can be found about Calcutta)
• 5) P. hirta Hassk. : stem not running out into a bracteate spike = Chota Nagpur

The above is Greek to me!

However, Bengal Plants equates P. indica Gaud. with Urtica suffruticosa of Flora Indica.

Flora indica informs (U. suffruticosa) :- 

"Suffruticose, leaves alternate, lanceolate, broadest at the base, entire, three nerved, smooth...... Female calyx one-leaved, with a contracted, bidentate mouth; and the outside deeply ribbed and hairy..."

Any chance (pic P1030738.jpg)?

Thank you once again.

Regards,

surajit

If flowers develops, the issue can be solved with confidence. To me it appears that flowers are yet to develop in this plant.

Sir,

Revisited the plant today, took some statistics. This herb is about 2ft., with small branches. Not, sure if there was any prostrate main stem. The place was moist and covered by other weeds. Leaves are all alternate, smaller in the lower part of the stem (last pic).

Don't know if it will help. Will try to revisit after some days.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit

A reply:

"This plant is in flowering in Pantnagar and dissection of flower indicate that it is Gonostegia hirta (=Pouzolzia hirta) only. The character of leaves (opposite/ alternate/ subalternate) is not a reliable character since I have seen this plant with opposite as well as alternate leaves. Pouzolzia and Gonostegia are differentiated as follows:

Tepals 4 in male flowers, stamens 4, not inflexed................................................Pouzolzia

Tepals 5 in male flowers, stamens 5, inflexed ....................................................Gonostegia
