You may have seen I have passed on your good work to a fellow PN spotter in Bangladesh...with acknowledgement to you :) Thanks, Rahul.

You are welcome..:) :) The genus was also called Spilanthes but this name is no longer in use.

Acmella, it is....Acmella sp. Thank you RahulUpahyay, it is not listed in Common wild flowers of India guide book and I was stumped...found a similar spotting from Bangladesh on PN but it was also listed as unknown. Many thanks to you for telling me the Genus even if we have not got to species level (let me check Flowers of India website) ...that is better than writing Yellow flower! Many thanks.
