efloraofindia:”For Id 19102011MR1’’ wild plant with pale green flowers Pune: Date/Time-Sep & Oct 2011

A wild plant 8-10 cms in height at Pune

green leaves with magenta midrib and pale green flowers
no fruits seen


One query. In the last picture the leaf margins are folding and also there is no purple spots. Is it a variant or is it that the purple spots may or may not be present?


Euphorbia hirta dudhi in local

Your line of thinking is correct. It is Euphorbia hirta. Soon you will see the trilocular fruits.

Hooghly Today : Euphorbia hirta Linnaeus:  A very common herb in wasteplace and roadside, Euphorbia hirta Linnaeus, photographed today in Hooghly. Old records (Prain + Voigt) say it is বড় কেরুঈ in Bengali. But, according to “Plant Groups” it is বড় করণি !
ID Help :


Now, i can also see those square boxes, don’t know why. The Bengali names are either BARO KERUI or BARO KARNI or both, as have been recorded in books.


A little while ago i come to know that “Euphorbia hirta L. is known as Boro Kerui, Baro Kherui or Baro Dugdhika according to Auyrvedacharya Shivkali Bhattacharya (Chiranjeeva Bonousodhi, Vol-9, page -101).


It is nice to see a mention of late Kaviraj Shivkali Bhattacharya in your email. A naturopath friend in Bhavnagar had told me about his profound knowledge of herbs and Ayurveda.


Here is the cover of a volume of the “Chironjib Bonoushadhi” (CHIRANJEEVI VANOUSADHI) by Kaviraj Shivkali BhattacharyaAllbengalibooks.
