This is Spigelia anthelmia<\/i> L. -family Logniaceae<\/i>.
\nThis was reported by me as new record to Maharashtra in 2004<\/span> from near railway tracks in the wood logs in a railway yard<\/span> in Mumbai.<\/span>
\nthis plant was earlier reported at Truticorn harbour<\/span>.\u00a0i believe this plant is spreading\u00a0by the seeds which gets transported along with the wood logs used for railway tracks. now u have observed it near railway station. your observation of this plant near railway station puts more support to my belief.<\/span>
\nmember please comment regarding the spreading of this plant.<\/p>\n
