seems to me Adenostemma lavenia pl


To me it looks different from images at  Adenostemma lavenia


Might it be Adenostemma viscosum J. R. Forster & G. Forst.? CoL


Thanks, …
It appears close as per images/ illustrations/ details of Adenostemma viscosum J. R. Forster & G. Forst. at
However, this species is not given in the Flora of India Checklist as per details below:
However, it gives lot of varieties of Adenostemma lavenia (L.) Kuntze as per details at efloraindia

I could find only one link in GBIF sowing record of Adenostemma viscosum J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. in Assam . So I am confused between this one and Adenostemma lavenia (L.) Kuntze


I guess Adenostemma viscosum J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. is the correct ID .https://powo.science.kew.org/names:175030-1
https://www.gbif.org/species/3094604


Please check Adenostemma lavenia var. microcephalum (DC.) J.Kost. having distribution in  Assam.

I think you are right as per GBIF specimens (one and two)
