Good morning Sir A similar plant was identified by Muthu Ji in my earlier post - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/RpD-JmGtg-o/2lLMQ0FPVc4J. It is interesting to note that neither F. B. I. nor F. I. features this plant.
But the "Bengal Plants" does mention this herb as "an "introduced and thoroughly naturalised" species from America. The same book mentions it as *Herpestis chamaedroides* L. The Bengal Plants also informs the herb is erect........ I have seen both, erect, when it is small and procumbent forms. This plant is flowering now. Nothing (almost) could be found in the net about the *Herpestis chamaedroides* L.- - http://books.google.co.in/books?id=qvHPzki7Jp8C&pg=PA92&lpg=PA92&dq=Herpestis+chamaedroides&source=bl&ots=RZ55PddLHA&sig=679fx76UbiGm8A_FQ4-_sGa6x-c&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Ztl5UbqxLqeFiAe_lIF4&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Herpestis%20chamaedroides&f=false - http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/david-prain/contributions-to-indian-botany-reprints-from-periodicals-1902-1906-goo/page-38-contributions-to-indian-botany-reprints-from-periodicals-1902-1906-goo.shtml I fully agree with Nidhan Sir. A number of scientific websites, like the one at - http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id205849/, identify it as *Mecardonia procumbens* (P. Mill.) Small.
