[Taxacom] Help in identification: Scoparia dulcis L.

[Gurcharan Singh-sify]

It is indeed Scoparia dulcis. Thanks Dr Ching-I Peng and Dr Volker for 
prompt reply and help. Incidently it is growing very near to where I 
collected Mecardonia procumbens, another American plant unreported from our 
area. Both these species occur on sandy soil along banks of River Yamuna in 
Delhi, mixed with Phyla nodiflora and Alternanthera sessilis.
