   Date/Time- on 21/3/10 at around 9 a.m. Location- Place, Altitude, GPS– in Joka Marshes, Kolkata Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type– Wild Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- Shrub Height/Length- around 2 meter Other Information like Fragrance, Pollinator, Uses etc.- Seen as used in fencing. … would this be some Pluchea species ? This plant is Pulchea indica Less. (Syn: Conyza corymbosa, Pulchea corymbosa) from the family Asteraceae/ Compositae. A very common plant around Kolkata marshy lands.
This is a common undershrub found in rural roadside. It is also used as natural fence to guard frontyard or some cultivated garden plants. Could it be a Eupatorium sp.?
Species : UNKNOWN
Habit & Habitat : wild undershrub (?) of about 5 ft. height, roadside
Date : 08-04-2012, 10.30 a.m.
Place : Tarakeswar (Hooghly), WB Nice pics, should be a Vernonia sp. in my opinion…. Google searched for various Vernonia species, Ageratum & some others for 2 hrs. but no avail ! This is also a very common species. Villagers sometimes use this plant to build a natural boundary wall around their homeyard. i was wondering if it was Eupatorium species too Any chance of Ethulia conyzoides L.f. – http://www.meemelink.com/prints_pages/18429.Compositae%20-%20Vernonia%20madagascariensis.htm ??? I think Pluchea indica (L.) Less., as per efi site link:

Also attaching some recent pics, recorded on 18/10/12.
Though leaves of this species are more densely dentate than the ones in the above two links outside India, it is possible ID.
