Chitralekha ji ... got aware that the plant *Acalypha hispida* is dioecious only after reading your post ... have been seeing only the female plant (with red pendent inflorescence) that are (cultivated and) planted. Me too curious to get to the male plant ... not much is discussed about this male plant ... most of the descriptions say: the male plants are not showy ... male inflorescences unknown !!
