Thanks Garg ji for validating the ID. But I am not sure whether *Aerva lanata* is distributed in Jodhpur. The Desert Park in Jodhpur has only native plants of Thar desert and adjoining arid areas within Rajasthan. I went with thinking of *Aerva javanica* - because it is distributed in desert / arid regions, for example, Jaisalmer.
Requesting you to glance through following document related to flora of Jodhpur. STUDIES ON THE VEGETATION AND FLORA OF JODHPUR <http://www.cazri.res.in/annals/1963/1963J-4.pdf> ... page 43 & 44 ... it lists *Aerva persica* and *Aerva pseudotomentosa*. I will go with your thoughts. Regards. Dinesh On Mon, Dec 17, 2018 at 9:30 AM J.M.
