Thanks Shobha ji for elaborating your sighting. Many thanks Santhosh ji for the clarity among the two pods.
Shobha ji, the word पांढरी (meaning white coloured) must have some reasoning while it was assigned to this M. monosperma - one case could be just to logically separate the two plants. Perhaps, some aspect of *M. monosperma* is "whiter" (read "brighter") than the *M. pruriens*. It could be just any aspect like stem, leaf, bud, flower, seed OR even the root. Those familiar with this colour logic may help us out. Regards.
