In view of the recent post by … & Id & keys by … of Prenanthes violifolia (along with discussions in a recent post), I am more inclined to take this as Prenanthes brunoniana (Syn: Cicerbita brunoniana (Wall. ex DC.)

Very tiny flowers taken along the roadside on the way back from Gulmarg to Srinagar, on the 11th of Sept,11. I had seen bunches of some yellow flowers like Senecio….. so went to picture those and found these tiny flowers close by. Very difficult to locate from a distance. Prenanthes sp., leaves needed for species identification I found this picture with leaves. Prenanthes brunoniana This will also be Prenanthes violaefolia? In view of the recent post by … & Id & keys by … of Prenanthes violifolia (along with discussions in a recent post), I am more inclined to take this as Prenanthes brunoniana (Syn: Cicerbita brunoniana (Wall. ex DC.)

When I found this I thought it to be a Cicerbita or a Lactuca species but I cannot find a match. Please advise.
Above Mcleodganj, HP 2000m approx. 25 September 2016 I think Prenanthes sp. Thank you again … A quick look at yours, … and … posts at efloraofindia suggests my plant to be P. violaefolia. But the FOI shows a very different plant under Lactuca violaefolia, which I had seen on my trek at 3200m and has leaves closer to those of violas. Please advise. The suggestion of Prenanthes is sound (which some consider some of the species to be Lactuca).
Lactuca brunoniana (sy. Prenanthes brunoniana) is very common on forest borders or in thin forest @ 1200-3000m in Kashmir & parts of N.Pakistan and was common in woods at Shimla, so if it is the correct suggestion genus-wise, this is a good candidate but needs checking. Pl. see comparative images with keys at Prenanthes
There is a lot of confusion in the keys as well as the postings.
Hope some throws more light to bring clarity to our images at Prenanthes Thank you … I am collecting more evidence for it but think we have the same plant. I took more photos of plants at about 2000-2100m altitude. The leaves are very variable as can be seen in these photos. The flowers have three white ligules without any red at the base. The plants are much branched with numerous flower heads. These seem to confirm the P. brunoniana suggested by … Please advise.
I photographed plants with all leaves hastate/cordate but similar flowers at higher altitudes which I will post separately.

as … said it can be B sikkimensis, i could not find much information except a pic which i am attaching here. In both above said floras only 2 sp are described.
As i can understand the highly variable nature of P brunoniana or rightly said Cicerbita brunoniana may be in Unresolved list

The only thing worrying me is that P. brunoniana is generally a taller plant and there are numerous heads forming a panicle. Here we have few heads like in P. violaefolia. Please compare with image appended by you. The leaves, however, do not match P. violaefolia. I am uploading my herbarium sheets of two for comparison.

Kalatope id al260911a: Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude 2100 mts Habit herb Habitat wild Height 30 inches season Sept-Oct May be Prenanthes sp., please mention plant height, number of heads in an inflorescence to conclude further. Did not think of counting them at that time sir… but looking at the images there are generally about 3-4 flowers together.. the height of the plant was as mentioned earlier about 30 inches (give or take a few inches) I can count several heads in this photograph. I think Prenanthes brunoniana now considered synonym of Lactuca brunoniana Agreed Sir yes I counted today 3-4 in each bunch and each branch had 13-14 flowers … your counting is not appropriate. The inflorescence has numerous heads on a branched axis (panicle) and each head has 3-4 flowers (florets–structures with red base and white upper part. in fact they are ray florets).

Sharing some pictures for ID shot at Chandragiri Hill Kathmandu on 19 September 2016 at 8200 ft. Appears like Prenanthes species (pl. check comparative images). Does not seem match with any of two Prenanthes recorded in Nepal as per the link and book
However, I guess it is Prenanthes as suggested by you.
Need help from experts. I think it should be Prenanthes brunoniana as per keys in another thread. Thank you … I guess flower and stamen colors may vary. The accepted name is Lactuca brunoniana (DC.) Wall. ex C.B.Clarke ?? Accepted ID is Melanoseris brunoniana (Wall. ex DC.) N.Kilian & Ze H.Wang ! ID should be changed to Melanoseris brunoniana (Wall. ex DC.) N.Kilian & Ze H.Wang according to POWO.
But, could it be some other sp. like Melanoseris tenuis (C.Shih) N.Kilian ??
No distribution in Nepal as per I agree there is no distribution so far Since many sps. are coming up, could it be ?
