Nabha ji You seem to be mixing photos. 9232 has Brinjal in middle, yellow bell pepper on left and zucchini on right, cucumber-like fruit above (same as in 9233)
9233 has brinjal of two types (lower left and upper right), zucchini and mediterranean squash (and not dudhi- bottle gourd; see zucchini like cap at top but lighter colour. I am as written earlier not sure about cucumber. 9234 could be Cichorie (Chicory) the major vegetable and head lettuce on left I hope i have connected them rightly -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
