The plant is Phyllanthus niruri


To me it is Phyllanthus caroliniensis, but I am not sure.


I think, the leaflet of P. niruri is much smaller


Pl share pictures of whole plants.
My guess is P. rheedii but I may be wrong.

I forgot to click the habit shot of this plant sir.
It was a shrub about 3 feet tall.

Well, Phyllanthus niruri in Indian flora is an admixture of three different species while the original species, i. e. P niruri is not occurring in India. The present images belong to Phyllanthus leschenaultii.
