You are right Dinesh ji. In my state it is spreading in forest by breaking
the boundaries of gardens. By the way it is considered as promising plant to
smother the growth of Parthenium in wasteland.

yes Navendu ji is right, It is A. jacquemontii
I for a moment mixed up spathe tip and spadix tip. In A. tortuosum spathe
tip is very short but spadix tip is very long and nearly erect. In A.
jacjuemontii, the spadix tip is short and spathe with a very long tail.
Thanks Navendu ji again

Yes, this should be Arisaema jacquemontii. Arisaema tortuosum has a
long projecting upright spadix.
The second flower looks like Impatiens glandulifera, but would need a
clearer picture to be sure.

Both should be available in wastelands in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, UP and
Rajasthan this time of the year.
In A. lanata the flower cluster form very short spikes (0.5-1.5 cm long) in
leaf axils; leaves are broader (1-2 cm broad), obovate or elliptic-orbicular
In A. tomentosa flowers occur
A few that I know would be there are (we used them in childhood for
vegetables):
Plantago lanceolata
Capsella bursa-pastoris
Taraxacum officinale
Cichorium intybus
Lactuca serrriola
Malva parviflora
Plantago major
Tulipa stellata (we used to eat bulbs of young plants)

Just one more thing to add:
The species name phoenicea refers to the red color, in allusion to the
