Attaching here a small sized pic of another aquatic plant that i thought was the same as this one (with the monkey-puzzle-butterfly). but this attached pic doesn't tally with yours shots. This plant is clearly distinct from the one in your previous post. Yes Sir, it is another species, your document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tOb9St_zAQymFT3J2B1yOuKuE9cxa9U9reVfpK-Yurw/edit) tells me so. But, as i said earlier, i thought both were same. However, i will post a seperate document seeking ID of this one too. the uploaded herb photo is of Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. from Amaranthaceae family. I think ... got it correct http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Alligator%20Weed.html

It is available in the markets of West Bengal as leafy vegetables and locally known as “Chhenchi shak” and has really good taste. yes. a bad weed. some eat it, but at their own peril This is a very bad weed... must be eradicated where found... please read pg 12 of this pdf from Australia dept of BIOSECURITY http://www.daff.qld.gov.au/documents/Biosecurity_EnvironmentalPests/IPA-Alligator-Weed-Risk-Assessment.pdf I was distrubed by the numbers in reduction in crop production due to this weed in china... pg 12 of pdf or sec1:10 in its own parlance.... we dont have a dept of BIOSECURITY do we? its other name is ALLIGATOR WEED. WONDER WHY? I have no knowedge of this being used as a food here in our state ...only considered a weed... usually cannot compete with Eichhornia which overpowers this..... Alligator may be due to its dominating nature.... It can invade mid Himalayan hills along water channels. I have recorded it from 1400m altitude near Naini Tal, Uttarakhand.
