It (Soliva anthemifolia) might be easily confused with Coronopus didymus (now Lepidium didymum L.) but the flowers occur in sessile axillary capitula hidden at the base of leaves. If you find a Coronopus like plant whose leaves also remind you of an umbellifer, look for the greenish sessile (brownish when dry and mature) capitala. It could be Soliva anthemifolia

Need id of this small plant from Agra, U.P Date: feb 2020
Apiaceae ?? Coronopus didymus,
ID looks good ! Beautiful pictures of the commonest weed. What puzzles me is the fusifòrm pollen grains that I saw and photographed.
Of course I depended on Google search for comparison which might have misled me In photo 3 the visible squares are 25 sq mm in area and not 5mm as written. Two more photos of fusiform pollen grains: Yes, appears close to images at Having examined the pollen grains of another crucifer I find that fusiform pollen grains are usual for cruciferae. I was misled by some images on google search to think that they are unusual. .
