Yes, Saroj ji, as per images and details at Zehneria japonica It should be female plant as per FOC illustration Fruits and seeds from same plant 20 November 2010. Do you think … shapes of fruit and seeds matches with the sketches of Z. bodinieri and flower image of Zehneria bodinieri (H.Lév.) W.J.de Wilde & Duyfjes ?? 4 images. Flowers and fruits look similar. I will go with Zehneria japonica (Thunberg) H. Y. Liu as per FoC illustration due to the length of the pedicle of female flowers/ fruits (also in comparison with male flowers) and shape of the leaves. Seed do not match with Bodinieri ? Fruits are also globose or oblong even as per keys in Flora of China.
