I think this is Kochia (Bassia) species, may be similar to –

Mix-up of posts?

Yellow flowering sp. looks like Bassia indica (Wight) A.J.Scott !

Bassia indica (Wight) A.J.Scott  ??


I think looks different from Bassia indica (Wight) A.J.Scott  as per GBIF


It seems to be Bassia indica, but the habit is quite strage. Could you please provide more close-up images at the fruiting stage? The leaves should be more or less fleshy, it is also a good character for the identification of this species.

Large Herb for Id from Panipat 120610-1: a large Herb for Id from Khukhrana Panipat; it is present everywhere along roadside in many areas of Northern Haryana. Flowers could not find;


May be same summer form of Chenopodium album.


Can be Chenopodium album. but I have never seen such a large shrub of this plant !!


may it be a sp of Salsola from Chenopodiaceae


This mystery finally solved yes it is Salsola baryosma (=Chenopodium baryosma, Salsola foetida); During my excursion to Refinery and Thermal area in Panipat i could get its flowers. Attaching here. Please validate


You may please check the fruiting perianth. It should be be enlarged and distinctly winged in Salsola


Attaching more cropped photos


Is it Salsola tragus?


For me Salsola is rules out. Never heard of any species with woolly growth around perianth.
To me it looks like Bassia sp., most probably Bassia dasyphylla.

Again the fruiting perianth will solve the mystery.


This herb was not having any wooly outgrowth as seen in old pics, now it
has. I am attaching some photos for clarification in the matter


Yes Bassia dasyphylla is my call


this plant has not been reported anywhere from haryana till now. salsola baryosma is however reported


This plant of yours is turning interesting. I chanced upon some photographs of Bassia dasyphylla. The plant is covered with long spreading hairs. As such it ca’t be your plant which has almost glabrous stems. The search is
on. Leyt us explore further for Chenopodium or Salsola.

Again this years pics of the same type of plant

Please see if you can upload any with fruiting perianth which is often crucial for identification.


Feedback from another thread:

I think this is Kochia (Bassia) species, may be similar to –

This is clearly Bassia (ex-Kochia) indica.
