Thanks for suggestions from Sibdas and Padmini. Certain herbs are very small esp. those observed on the Kas plateau. The weather conditions are often not very good for photography as it was raining throughout the day when I photographed this plant. Unfortunately I had to photograph the flower on the background of the seat cover of my car as you can observe here. These are annual plants, they live for 15 days or so and die after that to come up again next year. The leaves are often a pair or so and the only visible part is inflorescence which is necessary for identification.Though your views might be correct for most of the species it may not be possible for all plants and it is expected that one can reply to the post if he or she has any further information/link/further photographs showing some other parts of the plant and also comments if any.If not just enjoy whatever is available.I will certainly try to find if at all I get a chance to visit the place again.
