Oxygonum sinuatum (Hochst. & Steud ex Meisn.) Dammer An exotic from Africa that has been reported recently from Bangalore. Belonging to family Polygonaceae. Photographed in May from Lalbagh. This plant is taking over one portion of Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Seems harmless but grows in large numbers. I suppose the three sided seeds get transported easily.
