Small flowered conyza species: 1. Conyza bonariensis:

Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronq., Bull. Torrey Bot. Club. 70: 632. 1943 syn: Erigeron bonariensis L; Erigeron linifolius Willd.

It is quite common to find small flowered (rather small headed) species of Conyza throughout India along roadsides and wastelands. They are much more commoner in temperate climates. During my last visit to Kashmir I found that larger headed of the two, more robust, long hairy and low growing Conyza bonariensis (syn: Erigeron linifolius) had come in flowering and more delicate with smaller heads, taller with branching in the upper part Conyza canadensis came up to flowering towards end of June. This year with extended stay in Kashmir i found that by middle of july another very tall often growing to the height of 1-2 m, much more robust plant had come up and started flowering, but by the time C. canadensis had almost started to disappear. Initially I thought this to be late flowering population of Conyza canadensis, but when It came to flowering in August I discovered that it was very distinct from Conyza canadensis in robust habit, broader leaves, larger heads and phyllaries with much shorter hairs. It was finally identified as Conyza albida now correctly known as Conyza sumatrensis, a species often confused with the other two. Here is the key to separate them

1a. Plants usually shorter than 50 cm; lateral branches equalling or overtopping main axis; heads 5-8 mm across; ray corolla shorter than 0.3 mm; fruiting head 8-10 mm across, pappus 3-4 mm long; lower leaves linear-lanceolate, upper linear……..Conyza bonariensis

1b. Plants usually taller than 50 cm; lateral branches shorter than main axis; heads less than 6 mm across; lower leaves lanceolate or oblanceolate, upper linear-lanceolate…….. (2)

2a. Ray corolla shorter than 0.3 mm; heads 4-6 mm across; fruiting head 7-8 mm across, pappus 3-4 mm long; lower leaves oblanceolate, upper linear-lanceolate; plants densely hairy, phyllaries short hairy……….Conyza sumatrensis

2b. Ray corolla 0.3-1 mm long; heads 2-4 mm across; fruiting head 5-6 mm across, pappus 2-3 mm long; leaves lanceolate; plants sparsely hairy; phyllaries with few long hairs…..Conyza Canadensis

may be Conyza bonariensis? but please wait for expert comments


Yes, This looks like Conyza bonariensis, though a shot of the basal leaves should have been decisive.

confused between Conyza canadensis, stricta, japonica ?


I doubt they are two photographs of the same plant. The first one from leaves looks like Vernonia cinerea (but should have pink heads), the secomd may well be Conyza bonariensis.  You may please recheck


These photographs are of same plant and I think it may be Conyza bonariensis as suggested by you.


Same plant in both the pictures. This plant is Conyza bonariensis of Compositae. I posted earlier for identification and please check on: efi thread


I too think that this is Conyza bonariensis (Asteraceae)

I have a humble request to all that while taking pictures of herbs please take at least one picture to show the entire plant and its near surroundings. This would sometimes help in easy id. Please check the link provided by .. efi thread
of the same species. The leaves that are aggregated at the base is also a key character for this species.

Erigeron bonariensis L. Syn : Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronq. ???

Thanks, …, for the id.
Yes, appears close to Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronquist as per comparative images at Conyza

Main difference from Conzya sumatrensis is that Conzya bonariensis (L.) is a shorter plant, and its lateral branches are taller or equal to the main axis. Am I right?
My images do not show this difference, so how do we arrive at the conclusion that it is Conzya bonariensis? What are the other key differentiators you can see in my images, …?

Yes it is Conyza bonariensis

If you observe the images at Conyza sumatrensis and Conyza bonariensis, you can see the differences.
