The pictorial pattern of flowers of both the species is quite similar. As per Shrikant's book the nature of plant is different. It is 15-30 cm high in case of *S.bigemina* whereas it is 1-1.5m in case of *S.setulosa.*Of course you can not clinch to the conclusion just by looking at the picture but by knowing the nature of the flora found in a particular area and described by others it appears to be *S. bigemina.* Thanks Satish
