Satish Phadke is right... it escapes and grows spontaneously over extensive grounds, I know of a upper end club west of Calcutta that had acres of green lawn, that was almost fully invaded by two plants that I love... one was this: mimosa pudica and another was bringharaj ..eclipta alba... e. alba is I think native and m. pudica is an import being from mexico originally if I remember ... both were behaving as if they were very comfortable in the area .....
I am not sure if it would be termed narturalized..since it was not a wilderness area... does someone know the strict definition of NATURALIZED weeds??
