Dear Neha Singh,
This is the well known *Dorstenia contrajerva *from Central and South
America. This hardy plant would have been introduced by the British to the
university gardens and would have escaped. It was believed to be a potent
counter-poison. It is the type species of the genus *Dorstenia*.
For more information see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorstenia_contrajerva
Best,
Peter Prins
