Thanks Vijayshankar ji for identification. It is locally known as Van Siliyari. Celosia argentea is known as Siliyari. I have just checked that *Trichuriella's *synonym is *Celosia* *monsoniae*.
It is used in Traditional Healing both internally as well as externally. Also in Tantra activities. Surprisingly internet as well as reference literatures inform very less about this important species. Although it is Aerva sp. but not narcotic like Aerva lanata known as GorakhGanja, a plant recommended by Guru Gorakhnath. Thanks agains.
