Attaching a collage. Please try to Identify.

at a quick glance seems to be but i cant see details in the flowers and leaf veins etc and ascertain sizes. can you post individual images, … and clear view of the flowers please

I will visit the site again and do the needful.

To me looks different from images at Pimenta dioica

Please check my recent posting on this plant (just now posted as a separate posting) for comparison.

This sapling was seen in a nursery in Mumbai in June 2015. It was labelled Farala asafetida.

Googling ‘hing’ revealed that it was an Apiaceae member and the leaves looked nowhere close to this.
Requested to validate if it is really Ferula assafoetida (this is the name as per Wiki).

I think does not match with images on google search

I guess label is wrong.

This is not Apiaceae and needs to be removed from this page.
The guess is Pimenta dioica (L.) Merr. , a spice sp.

Yes …, this is not ‘Hing’ 🙂
