Dinesh ji Yes it seems to be Chrozophora rottleri. Although there is some confusion in eFlora of Pakistan, the two species are quite distinct:
Chrozophora rottleri (Geiseler) A.Juss. ex Spreng., Syst. Veg. 3: 850, 1826; Welzen, Blumea 44: 420, Fig. 2, Map1. syn: *Croton rottleri* Geiseler; *Chrozophora plicata* (Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng. var. *rottleri* (Geiseler) Müll.Arg. Characterised by somewhat erect habit, larger leaves (up to 6 cm long), lighter green, surface uneven above but not folded (plicate), base usually symmetrical, inflorescence longer than leaf at least in fruit; fruit with flat stellate hairs, lepidote (rough, covered with scales, spreading (patent) hairs absent. http://www.nationaalherbarium.nl/euphorbs/images/C/Chrorott-habit.gif http://www.nationaalherbarium.nl/euphorbs/specC/Chrozophora.htm Chrozophora plicata (Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng., Syst.

Syn: Chrozophora obliqua Schweinf.; C. prostrata Dalzell & Gibson Plants prostrate, leaves smaller (up to 3 cm long), darker green, surface strongly folded (plicate), base oblique; inflorescence shorter than leaves; fruit with spreading hairs, stellate hairs three dimensional. I had uploaded C. plicata recently https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/5a49b4ebed614a1/950d99da97cc8483?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Chrozophora#950d99da97cc8483 Genus Chrozophora was revised in Blumea: Welzen, P.C. van. 1999.
