Dear Gargji, Yes .The description matches with that of *B.roxburghii *(*B. roxburghii*: shrub with stout axillary spines; alternate leaves; small greenish white flowers. Indian names: *Dirghakanta, hingoloro, hingaata, hinganbet )*.In my opinion* B.roxburghii* is distinct from *B.aegyptiaca*. I have relied upon the description of *B.roxburghii *contained in the Digital Flora of Karnataka, Moreover,the uploaded specimen was sighted in exactly the same locality as that is reported in the DFK Ref: http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=4230&cat=1 regards tspkumar
