Tabish-- I would strongly suggest monitoring J. dichotomum there. It appears to be bee-pollinated (we have few other pollinators likely to do the job; perhaps hummingbirds as well?) and sets copious seed that local birds here apparently eat/distribute. With the very healthy foliage there, I'd say that the plant is well-adapted to local conditions.

Again, not a very common garden plant here. About J. dichotomum, if an African native can become a weed in Florida, it could also be capable of naturalizing in India. Mani Nair has seen it growing in Maharashtra. - Tabish On Apr 18, 6:47 am, Kenneth Greby <[email protected]> wrote: > Tabish-- > > Does J. nitidum set seed locally there?
