Dear Dinesh sir,
Just now my another friend from Upper Assam informed some names for
these plants:
Portulaca oleracea: In Upper Assam they call it "Hanh-
thengia" (because the leaves look like "Legs of a duck"), Hanh = Hans
(Hindi) and Teng =Taang (Hindi)
Bodo people of Assam call it "Mephrai".

I think they just picked up this name form some other data source.
That's why the confidence level is very low in C. benghalensis var.
benghalensis. Tropicos also follows the same pattern.
Regards,
Ritesh.
Oh, very innocent question! ;-)
Both are same sir! This is called var. typica which is automatically
established whenever a new species is described.
Like Mangifera indica var. indica will automatically be established
with the description of M. indica.
Hope I am able to convey my message to you.
Katrina ji is right!
This is Hydnophytum formicarum of Rubiaceae. Popularly known as 'Ant
Plant'. (Myrmecodia tubers are spiky).
Recently I came across this plant in Vietnam where it is listed under
the threatened category. It is distributed from Andaman islands to S.
Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam,
Oh really? :-(
Thanks for the correction Shrikant sir!

Happy to see this plant growing at Mumbai also!
For those who don't know, this plant has been classified by IUCN under

The plant appears very close to Litsea cubeba (Lauraceae) which is
