Dear friends ... resurfacing this query. Comments received ... Promila ji ... It seems to be Aerva lanata. The plant is clearly showing simple, alternate leaves on wooly branches. And the white flowers are also minute and in clusters. me ... many thanks Promila ji, but having got used to seeing the cylindrical flower clusters, the conical clusters here made me raise the query. The other doubt is .. whether there is any other species confusingly close to A. lanata in Western Ghats of Maharashtra. Vijayasankar ji ... Pl. also check it for Nothosaerva brachiata (Amaranthaceae). Promila ji ... It may be Nothosaerva bractata. The Flora of British India says-Moquin has probably confused this with the very similar Aerva lanata. May be you are riight.
