This is the Konkan Pinda [Pinda concanensis]. This is Pinda concanensis. Family : Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) Yes Very nice pictures of Pinda concanensis This should be Polyzygus or Heracleum species, not a Pinda. To me it is Pinda concanensis. Some additional photographs attached. The plant is surely Pinda concanensis which is the most common herb on hill tops of Western ghats during monsoon.
Also one of the most common in Lonavala and Khandala region
