Balkar ji, No doubt these two species (*Triumfetta rhomboidea* and *T. pentandra*) are confusingly close, another two can be added to this list: (*T. pilosa* and *T. annua*) Leaving it to those studying (or familiar with) these plants to give us a better understanding for differentiating them.
My perceptions of these are based on their lower leaves ... they differ in shape. Other differentiating visual details (requiring a hand-lens) - are in the fruits and flowers. Regards.
