I am supplementing the post with more images of what I think is same plant, recorded from VoF… It was resolved to be from Asteraceae when I had posted on group, and further id could not be established..
It may be some species of Prenanthus (Asteraceae). Pl. check with images at Lactuca brunoniana (DC.) Wall. ex C.B.Clarke
Asteraceae for ID ABSEP2016/47 : 8 posts by 4 authors. 4 images.
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 Similar to my specimen of Prenanthes brunoniana from Dalhousie… 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.

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.

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).

… would like to know what are two structures that we see. Green is the flower bud. The pink ones are bracts. On further consideration I think there is some thing wrong with the above identification, as also identification of my Herbarium specimen from Kashmir. The leaves are different from true Prenanthes violaefolia (now Cicerbita violaefolia). The search is still on for true ID Yes, … On seeing Prenanthes violaefolia at FOI, I got the feeling it could not be ID of this plant. If the buds are Ok, it may be Prenanthes brunoniana as the leaves are highly variable & match with the leaves posted by Ashwini ji on 8.10.16 in another thread. .
