Smitaji, excuse me but I put the (wrong) name purposely to attract
attention to the lack of supporting information that needed to be
given with the picture. It is not the bigger picture but sizes and
descriptions of parts not seen in the picture that help correct ID.
With the additional info in the prescribed format even this picture
may be ok. Regards, Shrikant

Shrikant ji .... this approach comes to my mind too !!!  a good primer for attracting comments, sometimes, surprisingly sufficient to trigger the ID.
Regards.

Yeah as i have already said i know more details are required for knowing  scientific name of plant& also i  have mentioned that  picture was captured just out of aesthetic interest not botanical point of view so i was knowing any details about the plant 
 so also i have asked apologies too for not having details in post

Shrikant ji
This is nice twist to our wild guess formula. These really generate interest.

Dinesh ji and Shrikant ji, you did not attempt my California bush identity.

Selvalakshmi ji
Search for genus Lagessia in the web as well as IPNI returned NIL results.

Yeah ofcourse if one can identify plant just by observing picture of leaf then he is using Wild Guess formula only... to feel Botanist
otherwise for accurate identification you need to know Morphology , Taxonomy, rules of Nomenclature & so on.... not easy task even for Botanist... right?:)
