… an endemic of Western Ghats, … Senecio grahamii popularly known as sonki (Marathi: सोनकी)


Which one is this out of the following two as per link (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/search?q=Senecio+grahamii):
Name Status Confi­dence level Source
Senecio grahamii Hook.f. Unresolved L TICA
Senecio grahamii Benth. Synonym M TICA

Our plant is S. grahamii Hook.f. now correctly known as S. bombayensis Balakr.
S. grahamii Benth. is a Mexican species now considered as synonym of Roldana barba-johannis (DC.) H.Rob. & Brettell
Since S. grahamii Hook.f. is an illegitimate name, being a later homonym, hence its correct name is now S. bombayensis Balakr.

Nice photographs … Looks like Senecio grahamii . Wait for more comments on its ID.


Not sure about the identification, but if the identification is correct, the accepted name would be S. bombayensis Balkr. as S. grahamii Hook.f. is an illegitimate name, being later homonym of S. grahamii Benth. a Mexican plant (itself now synonym of Roldana barbajohannis (DC.) H.Rob. & Brettell).

Yes …, Sonki looking very beautiful ….. the most common flower in Sahyadri ..


Just to set records straight
Our plant is S. grahamii Hook.f. now correctly known as S. bombayensis Balakr.
S. grahamii Benth. is a Mexican species now considered as synonym of Roldana barba-johannis (DC.) H.Rob. & Brettell
Since S. grahamii Hook.f. is an illegitimate name, being a later homonym, hence its correct name is now S. bombayensis Balakr.
