Hi, ' This could be *Eriocaulon heterolepis* Steudel, which has long exceeding involucral bracts. I have collected this species myself from Maharashtra. However, I can not confirm the identity without seeing the dissected flowers and seeds. You may refer the book Eriocaulaceae of India by Ansari Balakrishnan. Important diagonostic features for this species are as follows.. Rootstock absent; Peduncles many; Heads white or grey; Involucral bracts oblong-lanceolate, spreading; Male sepalsconnate ion to a spathe, 3-lobed; Anthers blac; Female sepals-3, free, unequal; Female petals 3, spathulate, not clawed; Cells of seed coat transversely elongated, aligned in vertical rows; Appendages 5-6. dialated at apex, from the transverse radial walls appears to be in transverse rings on the surface of the seeds.

The 323 Air Defence Regiment was undertaking a field firing exercise of radar-enabled L70 guns in the famous Pokharan deserts of Rajasthan. When the fire and brimstone eased, soldiers found a terrorised Chinkara fawn. Then C.O. of the Regiment, Col. Prem Kumar, posted a Havildar at the spot to stand guard over the fawn, hoping the mother would return. However, the mother was probably dead and after a full day's wait, the Regiment adopted the fawn and christened him `Ninny'. A string of beads was put around its dainty neck. Ninny took readily to the Regiment and the hardened soldiers' hearts melted when Ninny frequented their tents for a tasty morsel. The fawn's HQs was Col. Kumar's house. Whenever annoyed at his whims not being pandered to, Ninny would slink into the Puja room and sulk for hours! As Ninny grew, the Regiment built a mini zoo with a flock of domesticated geese to keep Ninny company. Such was the camarderie that one one memorable occasion when Col. Kumar was herding the geese, he got a rude butt in his backside. It was Ninny rushing to the defence of his goosey girlfriends! *April phool* ** * A flower of vivid yellow blooms wild in the scrubland forests of the Lower Shiwaliks behind the Sukhna lake. Don't be fooled by its brilliance, though. The Argemone Mexicana (Prickly poppy), which is a plant native to Mexico and the West Indies, has been used by traders to adulterate mustard and rape seed oils. This is because the seeds of Argemone and mustard look very similar. According to botanists of the group, efloraofindia, even if 1g of Argemone seeds are mixed with 100g of oil, it leads to capillary leakage of protein-rich fluids into soft tissues of the human body. The ailment is called Dropsy and it has no specific therapy. There were Dropsy epidemics in India in 1934 (more than 2,000 cases) and in 1998, when 52 died and 2,500 more were hospitalised. This prompted the Government to temporarily ban mustard oil. New cases
