For Id from Panchkula-Command Hospital 2012: No images seen now.
this one was shot from Command Hospital, Western Command, Panchkula in 2012. I thought this to be a Silene species on the first look. Hope to find the Id…

I hope Vaccaria hispanica (Mill.) Rauschert (syn: Saponaria vaccaria L.; Vaccaria pyramidata Medik.)

Vaccaria hispanica indeed (Caryophyllaceae)

Putting forward again for your consideration please..

It has been identified as Vaccaria hispanica as per earlier thread

Yes one of the two commonest weeds in fields: Silene conoidea and Saponaria vaccaria (now vaccaria hispanica). I have yet to capture it in my camera.

Thanks again Sir, yes Silene conoidea is fairly available here, but I must say, I have never reported Vaccaria as a weed in our area (or in Haryana at large)……
