Many thanks, Gurcharan ji. I have attempted to make some notes from the internet. Most of the sites have merged - ssp. *aegyptiaca* with ssp. *baccifera* - thus was difficult to find separate descriptions.
Here below I have listed the differences briefly ... *Ammannia baccifera ssp. baccifera* cymes peduncled epicalyx minute capsule exceeding calyx tube *Ammannia baccifera ssp. aegyptiaca* cymes sessile-subsessile epicalyx horn-like capsule included within the calyx Here below are descriptions cited from two sites ... *Ammannia baccifera ssp. baccifera* Kerala Plants <http://www.keralaplants.in/keralaplantsdetails.aspx?id=Ammannia_baccifera_ssp._baccifera> Erect annual herbs to 40 cm tall; stem 4-angled or more or less winged. Leaves simple, decussate, sessile, 2-6 x 0.5-0.8 cm, linear to elliptic, apex acute, base attenuate, chartaceous. Cymes dischasial, axillary. Flowers 4 or 5-merous, perigynous; pedicels c. 2 mm long. Calyx tube 1-2 mm long, campanulate; lobes 4, 1-1.5 mm long, triangular. Petals absent. Stamens 4; filaments c. 0.5 mm long. Ovary 1 mm in diam., globose, 4-5-locular; ovules many; stigma capitate. Capsule 1.5-2 mm across, globose, exceeding calyx tube; seeds brownish, concavo-convex. The genus Ammannia L. (Lythraceae) in Egypt <https://www.herbmedit.org/flora/17-097.pdf> Erect or procumbent, branched herbs, up to 40 cm high; leaves narrow oblong-lorate, 3-4 cm length, 0.6-0.8 cm width; leaf base at lower leaves attenuate, at upper leaves obtuse or cuneate; cymes peduncled, lax; flowers pediceled; hypanthium 1-1.5 mm length and width, ribs obscure; epicalyx minute; petals absent; stamens 4, yellow; capsule reddish yellow, 1-1.5 mm diameter, exceeding hypanthium, style length up to 0.5 mm; seeds 0.5 mm, brownish. *Ammannia baccifera ssp. aegyptiaca* Kerala Plants <http://www.keralaplants.in/keralaplantsdetails.aspx?id=Ammannia_baccifera_ssp._aegyptiaca> Annual herbs, often red, erect or ascending, simple or branched, 2-80 cm tall; stems 4-angular or ± winged. Leaves opposite, 0.7-7 x 0.15-1(-1.6) cm, linear to elliptic, narrowed to the apex, narrowed to a cuneate base or obtuse or subcordate. Cymes (1-)3- many-flowered, ± lax to dense; peduncles 1 (-2) mm long; pedicels 1-2.5 mm long; bracteoles linear-lanceolate. Calyx-tube turbinate-campanulate, 1-2 mm long; lobes 4, broadly triangular, 1-1.5 mm long; intermediary appendages absent or very inconspicuous. Petals absent. Stamens 4, as long as the calyx-lobes or shorter. Ovary globose, 0.7-1.2 mm in diameter; style 0.1-0.3 mm long. Capsule globose, 1-2.5 mm in diameter, 1/2-3/4 included within the calyx; seeds brownish, concavo-convex, 0.4 mm in diameter. The genus Ammannia L. (Lythraceae) in Egypt <https://www.herbmedit.org/flora/17-097.pdf> Erect, branched herb, stem suffruticose at the base, up to 40 cm high; leaves lorate, 4-6 cm length, 0.6-0.8 mm width, with obtuse-cuneate bases; cymes sessile-subsessile with dense, glomurate flowers; hypanthium 1-1.5 mm length and width, ribs obscure, epicalyx horn-like; petals absent, stamens 4, yellow; capsule reddish yellow, 1.5-2.0 mm diameter included in the hypanthium. *In this posted observation of Ammania baccifera*, I see peduncled cymes; and the leaf base as attenuate-cuneate, compared to ssp. *aegyptica* which has a sub-cordate base.
