Scoparia dulcis:
Scoparia dulcis
Iobserved this plant near Paud in Ghat section by the roadside.
From a distance I thought it to be a Lamiaceae member.
On close observation the flowers appeared to be regular.
After going through earlier discussions and checking FFOS I think this is Scoparia dulcis.
This is a small herb with very smallflowers of about 8 mm.
Leaves are characteristic. In my specimen …not exactly opposite but 3 in a whorl fashion. sessile with serrate margin. The flower has 4 sepals and petals
.
I don’t know how many stamens and carpels…..
Earlier placed in Scrophulariaceae; now placed in Family Plantaginaceae.
From earlier discussion on the group
……dulcis means sweet.
……Interestingly it is called as sweet broom and also bitter broom.
…… I remember observing some different brooms in villages; these must be from the dried twigs of this plant.

very nice sir it has very medicinal use

Unidentified herb photographed from Manipur. Flowering in September.


… almost Scoparia-dulcis-like plant !!
Will dig into it later.

Thanks …! It could be Scoparia dulcis, with a winged stem,
although petals look a bit different.


Scoparia dulcis is found in Manipur too. I don’t know if some other species are also found there.


The plant is Scoparia dulcis Linnaeus [Scrophulariaceae] – an well grown specimen!!


Scoparia dulcis from me too. Can also be seen growing in Arunachal Pradesh.
