\n

but the round leaves bother me a lot<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

… is the Expert on this genus.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I was puzzled with the lines \u201cthat dx works for me\u201d, particularly when this code was used for Balakrishnan Sir, who is my Ph. D. guide and a living legend in Indian Plant Taxonomy. Anyway, what does it mean?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
oh oh i started a mutiny here with a bit arcane medical jargon? i am glad you asked and nice to know we have an authritatve voice in euphorbias here.\u00a0Nice meeting you Dr.Balksrishan ji.<\/div>\n
=<\/div>\n

thats fine, \u2026, it means i accept, agree, it means, \u2026 picture was pointing me to euphorbia, but the roundish somewhat succulent looking leaves were bothering me and i was pondering \/intrigued before anybody gave a diagnosis. and then when \u2026 gave his dx, i said it works for me
\nit also means, i accept and treat the patient according to the consultant\u2019s opinion.\u201d\u2019
\n<\/span>|went to sleep all non-intrigued, came back, but the round leaf shape still was bothering me and i said so more like it has been intriguing me.
\n<\/span>so now tell me why should the round leaves not bother me. is there something i am overlooking. tell me, please<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Thank you \u2026, So you went by diagnosis and prescription. Ha ha ha.<\/p>\n

\n

If I am not mistaking. the uploaded picture needs a 90 deg anticlockwise rotation.

it is \u201cthe\u201d picture attached to this post by \u2026 in the first place. I have rotated it 90 degrees anticlockwise.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

yes, \u2026 i will also show you why i woke up with the intrigue. look at flora of karnataka page. the leaves are not roundish<\/p>\n

\n

pictures are not showing up are they?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

I agree that this is not\u00a0Euphorbia<\/em>. Firstly, the leaves are symmetrical, which means that it is very unlikely that it belongs to\u00a0Euphorbia<\/em>\u00a0subg.\u00a0Chamaesyce<\/em>\u00a0sect.\u00a0Anisophyllum<\/em>\u00a0(the current nomenclature for the\u00a0Chamaesyce<\/em>\u00a0group based on the most recent phylogenetic evidence).\u00a0 While I can\u2019t really rule out any other\u00a0Euphorbias<\/em>, prostrate growth is quite rare in\u00a0Euphorbia<\/em>\u00a0except for section Anisophyllum.\u00a0 Also, I know of no species within the group that is known from India that has leaves that broad and rounded (those of\u00a0E. serpens<\/em> can become suborbicular and perhaps even close to this shape, but are far smaller and the stems are hairless).<\/p>\n

\n
\n

It is\u00a0Andrographis serpyllifolia<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>(Rottler ex Vahl) Wight<\/p>\n
