Thanks Surajit ji for all the efforts. I had posed the query because mericarps of the posted plant are not well-pointed as I remember to have seen for *A. indicum*, but my observation does not take care of possibility of variances in pointedness. Was disappointed to find almost no picture of *A. pannosum*'s fruit on internet - thus not sure whether the fruit is globose as described OR seemingly globose.
