Dear Tanayji, The plant you are referring to is different. I will send you the pictures of it within 1/2 an hour. This is different. It is not Laprtea interrupta.In fact I am just attaching a copy of the picture of Laportea interrupta for your perusal. I must admit however, that both the plants appear very similar to each other. The difference is in the stem. The stem of the plant that I have sent is almost transparent and the stem of Laportea interrupta is redish and has fine hair like particles on it. It is taking too long to upload as such am sending them to you by picasa. Regards Yazdy.
