Couple of days ago, while I was walking at the bank of Brahmaputra River near Zainul Abedin Park, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, I have seen an interesting celery like plant.
The leaves were like carrot leaves, branches were relaxedly arranged, beautiful flower, seemed, they are enjoying the sunbath.
My son was accompanied me then, he asked about it. But I have no idea about its identity. Later I searched in several online databases. It is commonly known as cursed buttercup or crowfoot buttercup. In Bengali, it is known as Jaldhania (aquatic coriander).
It has lavishly spread all over the world, probably by water, in all continents.
