is a 10-25cm tall annual. Many of them inhabit roadsides or fields,
their leaves resembling those of Punica
granatum (Zakuro, a
small- tree)

whorl (false verticillate) of two to three, each 1.5-5cm long, in
the shape of a lanceolate or linear lanceolate. 3mm across
petal-less whitish green flowers come in a cymose way. Sepals are 5
in number, and capsules are spherical. Bloom time: July-October. |
