Dear Nidhan Singh Ji,

Thanks for your views.

Actually P. aviculare L. and P. plebeium R. Brown are very closely
allied but distinct species. Primarily they can be distinguished on
the basis of tepal character which is 1 veined in later and
dendricularly branched in former. Unfortunately, we cannot examine
this character here.

Leaves of P. plebeium are comparatively smaller and usually with more
number of axillary flowers. Ochrea is more lacerate. The outer tepal
is also more angular.

I've collected both species from the field and they are also different
in their appearance and texture.

Therefore, I still feel this to be as Polygonum aviculare L.

Waiting to hear from you.

Best regards,
Ritesh.
