Hi, Tabish ji, For *Dicliptera chinensis *(L.) Juss. (syn. *Dicliptera roxburghiana* Nees), POWO <http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:47485-1#synonyms> does not give its distribution in the Himalayas. So it is highly that it is *Dicliptera riparia* Nees (syn. *Dicliptera* *roxburghiana* var. *riparia* (Nees) Benoist <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242421985>) as per Catalogue of Life <https://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/4426ae5b538086188facdd0af762f956/synonym/55f897f91bd228c8d2303567796704d5> (*Himalayas, Plains of E-, N- & NE-India, Upper Gangetic Plains*), Myanmar [Burma] (Bago, Taninthayi), Thailand, Nepal. Also our observations match with GBIF <https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=5575125> specimens and are the same as those from Nepal.
