It is interesting to find out why it is called Congress grass in India? Its English name is Carrot grass, bitterweed, false ragweed, feverfew, but nowwhere Congress grass is documented. Some one many years back told me that it looks like cap of Congress party and is found everywhere like Congress workers. I don't know whether it is joke or the idea that struck.
