This is Spigelia anthelmia L. -family Logniaceae.
This was reported by me as new record to Maharashtra in 2004 from near railway tracks in the wood logs in a railway yard in Mumbai.
this plant was earlier reported at Truticorn harbour. i believe this plant is spreading by the seeds which gets transported along with the wood logs used for railway tracks. now u have observed it near railway station. your observation of this plant near railway station puts more support to my belief.
member please comment regarding the spreading of this plant.
