Dear Sathish sir,
found in the field just means field and not crop fields. They are
found commonly in the grasslands may be thats one reason why they are
called so. It a widespread plant found from Tropical Asia to
Australia. Poly means MANY and gala means MILK, may be because it
bears milky latex in greater amount comparatively.
