Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: NS 009: Bassia scoparia? from IB College, panipat:
This commonly planted grassy herb was shot from my college garden.. wanted to confirm the species..
is this Bassia scoparia Syn. Kochia scoparia ?

Thanks … for this upload. yet to find this one.

I do not know this plant and Bengal Plants doesn’t feature it. But, FoC tells me that it is Kochia scoparia (L.) Schrad. (syn./accepted name Bassia scoparia (L.) A.J.Scott), as has been identified by …
F. B. I. mentions its distribution in North-West India.
I thank … for introducing me to a new plant.
