Webb ex Prantl, H. G. A. Engler & K. A. E. Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam. 3(2):192. 1891 Syn: Sisymbrium sophia L. Common names: flixweed, herb-Sophia, tansy mustard Hindi: Khubkallana A very distinctive annual herb reaching 1 m tall with leaves 2-3 pinnatisect into linear segments; lower leaves stalked, upper sessile; flowers yellow, hardly 2-3 mm across, in up to 30 cm long racemes (in fruit) with usually more than 50 flowers; pedicel filiform, up to 1.5 cm in fruit; sepals about 2 mm long, petals slightly longer; fruit narrowly linear, up to 3 cm long, obscurely torulose. Very common in Kashmir valley, found on road sides and wastelands. Photographed from Badam Vari, Srinagar, Kashmir Seeds are given in desentery and calculus complaints, some times also as substitute for mustard and plant preparations used to eradicate worms (according to Flora of China). Looks uncannily similar to mustard plant fruiting??

I have one species from Spiti valley which looks close to this. Will share separately.
