Asphodelus fustulosus
Sonepat, Haryana, 14 May 09.
No water, dry land, and yet this small wild plant is maintaining its green blood and flowers.
… had identified this plant. I had always associated this plant with winter.
I remember, during my childhood, an elder relation in my family used to mix it with ‘hara sag of chana-sarson-bathua’
… may throw some light over its medicinal properties.

According to Bhandari Flora, Asphodelus tenuifolius Var. is Asphodelus fustulosus
field note– A weed of field & garden during winter. Local Name- Piyazi

Found a weed in cultivated lands of Patan, Gujarat.

Thank you for id it yourself
please bear with me… but i dont see any details in these pictures to compare to all those pictures in your 3 links,
I am sure you have your herbarium specimen  or close up macro pictures of the fruits?
and earlier flowers???
could you please show us the identifying features?

It is exactly the photos what I have shared. I do not have flowering.
on last week plants do not have leaves too. however it was fruiting.

that’s ok
weed is bound to come up again and again
I am sure will see some flowers next year from you

I checked up- I think Asphodelus albus is not found in India in wild.
In view, pl. also check with the following species in efloraofindia so far:

This might be Asphodelus tenuifolius. Let me confirm once during the flowering season.

Thanks. I look forward to it and your detailed close ups

Sure. Let me try when I visit during rain season.
