I found this plant growing in Darjeeling. It is almost like a weed on the borders of tea gardens. Few of the estate managers told me that they use this plant along with other herbs to make a concoction and
spray on tea bushes to control some pests. The plant is almost a meter height Herb Dark pink stem No flowers in this season http://www.flickr.com/photos/64877496@N06/5906678915/ The vegetative stage indicate it as Eupatorium sp.? It may be a Scleria species of Cyperaceae. Any picture at flowering stage? I think it represents Carex sp. Yes it is a species of genus Carex (Cyperaceae).
is this natural or planted… reason I am asking is there seems to be cobble stones beyond the c shaped semicircular retaining slab… manmade?
