This I think is not A. pungens rather A. ficoides, which shows a lot of variability. A. pungens is a prostrate plant, often forming patches characterised by nearly rounded leaves narrowed towards base and the flowers have perianth with sharp spiny tips. I am uploading it separately Alternanthera sessilis for sure.
This wild small spreading herb about 20 cm high was shot from Pujam Karnal Haryana (230 mts) my guess is Alternanthera sessilis or pungens pls validate/id I think A. sessilis is the right choice.
