Thank you all.\u00a0I m still learning to document all relevant details for identification. But it is a wonder of this forum that even when my documentation is not clear, the members and experts do still promptly identify the species. Without the forum i would be completely at sea.<\/div>\n

Though mentioned as a common weed throughout India<\/span>, I saw this plant Hybanthus enneaspermus<\/i> (L.) F.V.Muell. (Violaceae<\/i>) today (28.5.16) only in Pantnagar.
\n<\/span>I was unaware of the ID of plant but it hardly took to reach <\/span>Violaceae<\/i> (its family) following key to the families of flowering plants by Hutchinson (1973). Later it was even easier to reach the genus and species following Flora of India vol-2 and efloraofindia.<\/span><\/div>\n
