EUPHORBIACEAE FORTNIGHT:: Acalypha reptans? from Panipat NS-33 : Attachments (3).  4 posts by 3 authors.
Please get the id verified and let me know if this can be Acalypha reptans or A. hispida….

This species commonly cultivated is Acalypha chamaedrifolia (Lam.) Müll.Arg. (Basionym: Croton chamaedrifolius Lam.;Synonym: Acalypha reptans Sw.)

I think this has to be Acalypha hispida only unless the plant is a smaller or dwarf variety which is known by the name A.chamaedrifolia or A. reptans
