Other Information like Fragrance, Pollinator, Uses etc.- always seen small butterflies on these flowers
I have also seen similar plant with blue flowers which I will post later as I do not know if it is a different plant
i think this is Ageratum houstonianum
the photo is not clear for which you want to identify
For me it seems to be Ageratum conyzoides
I think not Ageratum at all, the leaves are alternate. The plants are not well focussed but shape of leaves and heads suggest Vernonia cinerea.
You are simply great. After reading about it
on the net I found this link and to my surprise a similar butterfly that I found on the flowers was photographed here too. Thank you for the Id . link to the site

Saw this herb in plenty by the roadsides etc. in Karjat area … the leaves were shriveled. The flowers in the first two photos are whitish while those in the third photo are of a different hue, is it normal?
… a guess: Blumea paniculata (family Asteraceae).
This looks like Vernonia cinerea.
Yes Vernonia cinerea
Thanks a lot … for your response. I found this link on the net and realised that the first two photos in my post are of fruits not of flowers!! Please correct me if I am wrong.
Yes … In fact only third photograph is in flowering condition.

May be Vernonia cinerea

Elevation : 25 m.
it is wild. its weed
Not Emilia.
cant do anything with this. i need leaves: shape and how they are attached to the stem even to guess a group of these weeds.
may be someone who has studied weeds all their life would recognize these flowering heads
i knew there would be some one who knew. are you sure? i guess you must be
my “guess” is because there are 1000 one thousand Vernonia and their flower heads look very similar. it beats me. Would like definitive paper or review esp related to these in Singapore ocean side or beach areas
Thank you … However, I feel sorry to put you seniors in confusion !
there is a reason for caution. its a weed per many old school botany but its being recognized as an important medicinal plant now. soon someone will patent it. need to be cautious as to what we id. may be someone will use our id and use the plant for medinial purposes. think….

Vernonia cinerea, the commonest weed in waste places and roadsides in Delhi.
Habitat: mixed deciduous forest
The flower about 8 – 10 mm across.
This looks like Vernonia cinerea
I was thinking so too …
Earlier sightings I never took close up of the flower to this extent; and thus thought it looks different.
Thank you very much for the ID.
