Yes Alok ji

You have mixed two plants. The one with rounded head is Lecanthus wallichii. Two species may occur in your area: L. wightii with only up to 10 cm long plants and head smaller than 4 mm; L. wallichii with plant up to 60 cm tall and head 1.5 cm to 4 cm.

The other plant with delicate branching inflorescence is Pilea umbrosa, I suppose

Sorry sir, I'll post them separately as observations.. thank you for
clarifying my query..

P.S The one with the round head must be L. wallichii since the flower
heads are about 1-1.5 cm approx....
