Dear Haneesh ji, Many thanks for the info. We brought seeds of this plant from Bharatpur and now its one of the most invasive weed in the garden. We were using it as nectar plant without realising its other uses as host plant. Satyendra Satyendra K.Tiwari Wildlife Photographer, Naturalist & Tour Leader H.No 129, P.O.Tala. Distt Umaria M.P.
