I think it may be from Amaranthaceae<\/em> or it is something else.<\/p>\n

\n

It may be Brassicaceae<\/em> (?); the flowers are needed, but the inflorescence conus is unusual for Brassicaceae<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

certainly not Brassicaceae<\/em> too using your close-up image. I don’t know what it is.<\/p>\n
