My first thought was, this could be an epilobium. The fruit of
Epilobium cylindricum agree with these pictures quite well. However,
now I am confused. The stigma of Epilobium cylindricum is spherical or
club-shaped, never lobed, as is prominently visible in Prashant's
pictures. Or is there some mixup with stamens?!

Tabish ji

I really admire your keen observation power.

You are right, Epilobium parviflorum could be a possibility, but have to see leaves clearly.

Resurfacing again for ID

I had initially identified it as Epilobium cylindricum but after Tabish ji pointed out four-lobed stigma, it can't be that species.

Now I think it to be E. parviflorum, but only leaves will confirm.

Your views please.

After pursuing, illustrations, images and keys, I think I feel these are more closer to images at Epilobium hirsutum rather than those at Epilobium parviflorum, as per
