Can it be some Salsola species of Amaranthaceae ?
My correct suggestion, which had ended up being included in the previous post, which has 3 (not 2) images, also from Sangam but clearly do not belong to Amaranthanceae (previously Chenopodiaceae).
Perhaps even the Salsola (now Kali) I suggested for the other specimens from this location? Which is what … is also suggesting.
Did not find any match as suggested.
Just a guess: Elaeoselinum tenuifolium (Lag.) Lange (accepted name)
This species look like Mattiastrum thomsonii of Boragenaceae. But I am not sure this is also confusing with Mathiola flavida species of Brassicaceae.
This looks like Salsola tragus.
Does not look like Salsola tragus . No spines !
It is Corispermum species. For the exact ID, the fruits are needed, but it seems to be C. tibeticum aggregate due to pilose stems and leaves. Hopefully it helps.
