Beautiful close ups.. Nice set .. Thanks … for sharing..

Delhi, roadside, today. (26.4.09)
Quite a slim twiner.
Flowers very small.

Request ID.

It is Boerhavia erecta.

Thank you for the prompt response. After ID by you, I saw Dineshji photo at Flickr

Any medicinal values?

… friends, consider Commicarpus chinensis (synonyms: Boerhavia chinensis, Boerhavia repanda, Valeriana chinensis)
1) FOI
2) Flickr

This species ‘Commicarpus chinensis’ is mentioned on page 273 of Illustrated Flora of Keoladeo National Park by VP Prasad, Daniel Mason, Joy E. Marburger, CR Ajith Kumar.
Nice pix on both the URLs.

I agree with you …, this should be Commicarpus chinensis. Why is there so much variations even in botanical names, which are supposed to be standard?
If we have to popularise ‘plant watching and identification’ there should be concerted efforts to bring out a consolidated list of common English names.
Date/Time- Sep 2010
Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- Chandagal, Mysore district
Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- Wild, inside thick bush, Farm fence

Request kind-hearted expert and experienced botanists to ID this wild creeper from Haryana.

Since no kind-hearted expert or experienced botanist seems to be available now, you have to kaam-chalaao with a kind-hearted layman. 🙂 To me this looks like Diffuse Hogweed (Commicarpus chinensis)
FOI
It should start flowering in the next month or so.

Requested to please provide ID.

Jacquemontia sp.??

Commicarpus/ Boerhavia for sure. No idea about the Species.

Yes. it is Commicarpus chinensis (L.) Heim. syn: Boerhavia chinensis (L.) Asch. & Schweinf.

Exactly It’s …,  I too concur with you,

The ID looks O.K. Nevertheless, please check for Boerrhavia species also (as there are eco-varieties in Boerrahavia) for finalising ID.
