Please check for Fagonia species, could be Fagonia indica.
We find these herbs around Muscat, Oman.
Had identified it from a book…Wild Plants of Oman.

Fagonia indica :: Sam sand dunes, Jaisalmer :: 26 OCT 18 : 3 posts by 2 authors. 3 images.
Sam sand dunes  … the Thar desert, Jaisalmer
Date: October 26, 2018 … Altitude: about 225 m (740 feet) asl  
Fagonia indica  Burm.f.

I glanced through pages on internet including eFI, The Plants List, Herbarium JCB, ENVIS-FRLHT, and read through keys in Flora of Pakistan.
I believe posted plant is lower taxa of Fagonia indica Burm.f. … Fagonia indica var. schweinfurthii Hadidi
There is lot of jumble among synonymies in Fagonia genus.
At FoI, it is Fagonia schweinfurthii (Hadidi) Hadidi with synonym as Fagonia indica var. schweinfurthii
I am sure … has referred Catalog of Life, where this taxon was latest scrutinized in May 2018.
At Catalog of Life, it is Fagonia schweinfurthii (Hadidi) Hadidi … latest updated May 2018
http://www.catalogueoflife.org/species/84ead74e
Thus, I am taking this posted plant as Fagonia schweinfurthii (Hadidi) Hadidi

POWO linkFagonia schweinfurthii (Hadidi) Hadidi ex Ghafoor- This is a synonym of Fagonia paulayana J.Wagner & Vierh.


Thanks, …, for pointing out. I was a bit worried initially. But tried to convince myself with your initial I’d.


Thanks … I have concluded the ID as Fagonia schweinfurthii (Hadidi) Hadidi. I hope you are in agreement.

If we follow the keys at Flora of Pakistan, I think it should be Fagonia indica as I do not see any trifoliate leaves and long petiole of FOP illustration and efi page at Fagonia schweinfurthii

I think the current page Fagonia paulayana may need to be renamed as Fagonia shweinfuthii. But it is a matter of study. Members who have their study and familiarity with Fagonia spp. in Indian context have to comment on their status. Fagonia paulayana seems to be not distributed in India, and Fagonia indica var. schweinfurthii Hadidi is not associated to it … Catalog of Life.

Thanks, … I will look into the matter.


Nice upload.  It is also known as ‘Mullu maddu gida’ or ‘Mullu muddu gida‘ , ‘Nela ingalaara’ in Kannada


Thanks very much, …
These names are listed in ENVIS – FRLHT.
But I was not sure of the words: ಮುಡ್ಡು muddu, ಇಂಗಳಿ ingali, ಇಂಗಳಾರ ingalaara … also not sure whether I have spelt them correctly.
ಮುಳ್ಳು mullu = thorn
ಮುಡ್ಡು muddu = not sure what it means, perhaps a bundle.
ಮಡ್ಡು maddu = sediment OR residue
ಗಿಡ gida = plant, shrub, bush
ನೆಲ nela = ground, earth
ಇಂಗಳಿ ingali = not sure what it means, perhaps scorpion
ಇಂಗಳಾರ ingalaara = not sure what it means

I will check  &  let you know in a few days time. Meanwhile I will provide the meaning of Maddu :
Maddu means Medicine. Some people (mostly non- kannadigas) also write it as Muddu for Maddu. Nevertheless,  Muddu means :  lovely, beautiful, charming expressed especially towards lovely  children (young) .


Thank you very much, …, for the meanings of maddu / muddu !
Will look forward for ingali / ingalaara.

Image should be of Fagonia indica as per discussion in another thread.

Thanks … Will soon make changes accordingly in Names of Plants in India database.

Correction done; new post related to compiled names of Fagonia indica is posted to group some moments ago.

Jaisalmer  … the golden city
Date: October 25, 2018 … Altitude: about 225 m (740 feet) asl
Fagonia indica  Burm.f.

Fagonia schweinfurthii (Hadidi) Hadidi
As discussed in another post.

If we follow the keys at Flora of Pakistan, I think it should be Fagonia indica as I do not see any trifoliate leaves and long petiole of FOP illustration and efi page at Fagonia schweinfurthii


Thanks … for the analysis.
My posted plant agrees with the first key in  Flora of Pakistan –  that is: Lower leaves trifoliolate, upper unifoliolate; petiole 5-12 mm long…Fagonia indica var. schweinfurthii
I am not clear which key or features relate to Fagonia indica (var. indica).
Fagonia indica var. schweinfurthii – the accepted name as per Catalogue of Life is Fagonia schweinfurthii.
On reading through internet, Fagonia schweinfurthii  is found distributed in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Punjab, 

I hardly see any trifoliate leaves as in FOP Illustration and as per page at Fagonia schweinfurthii
Pl. also see:
Lower leaves trifoliolate, petiole up to 10-12 (-15) mm long terminal leaves unifoliolate, with up to 5 mm long petiole; leaflets linear-oblong, up to 3.5 cm long, acute, central the largest; Stipular spines aculeate, shorter than leaves and internodes, patent, not reflexed as per FOP in Fagonia indica var. schweinfurthii Hadidi
Leaves unifoliolate, shortly petioled or subsessile, leaflets narrowly ovate-lanceolate, 8-16 mm long, c. 3-4 mm broad, mucronate, distinctly articulate at the base; stipular spines suberect, equal to shorter than leaves. Capsule 4 mm long and broad, pedicel reflexed, equal to or slightly longer than the fruit as per FOP in Fagonia indica var. indica
In view I feel your plant is Fagonia indica 

Thanks … I will go with Fagonia indica. Will soon label accordingly in flickr notes.

would like to inform you that i jut want o know what is the common Hindi name of Fagonia indica


As its distribution is restricted, you may find local names at Fagonia indica
I think Rajasthani name may be treated as same in Hindi also.

sending more images of fagonia for identification


Earlier posts on Fagonia indica & Fagonia paulayana


Fagonia schweinfurthii syn F. cretica.


Fagonia arebica/ F. schweinfurthii


Characters are not clear in the photographs.

I observed the following characters
leaves trifoliate below and unifoliate above
stem quadrangular
Branches appeared to be glandular
Based on these characters, I believe it is Fagonia bruguieri DC.

Key to Fagonia in BSI Flora of India, clearly differentiates Fagonia bruguieri DC.  on the basis of spines longer than leaves and stem 4-angled, seen in photographs. That confirms Fagonia bruguieri DC. 


I think this appears more closer to images at Fagonia indica Burm.f. rather than those at Fagonia bruguieri DC.
