Some earlier relevant feedback: Drooping inflorescence, absence of triangular spot on leaf and short cilia (cilia on P. maculosa are much longer) are insisting me NOT to go with P. maculosa. Rather it could be P. hydropiper or P. mitis. Can't see number of stamens and nut character that could be critical. Comments are welcome. Regards, Ritesh. Thanks Ritesh ji I am uploading separately what I think to be P. mitis. You can compare them better.
