New York Aster, Michaelmas daisy;

Symphyotrichum novi-belgii also known as New York Aster is the type species for Symphyotrichum, a genus of the family Asteraceae whose species were once considered to be Asters. They are ornamental plants native to Canada and the United States. All of these plants are collectively and popularly known as “Michaelmas daisies”.
This is the largest group of Michaelmas daisies, with over 1,000 named cultivars. They are valued for their late summer colour in shades of blue, pink and white. They are best planted in an open, sunny position. While extremely tough, they are susceptible to fungal infections, especially if conditions are not ideal.

… some Asteraceae
Dear friends,
Possibly Aster, but could not reach to any conclusion. The posted pictures lack aspects required for identification. Hopefully someone recognizes the plant 🙂 … In eFI, I see … post with pictures of same plant from Jijamata Udyan – the ID is yet to get resolved.

Close to Aster amellus?

I will check my post from Jijamata Udyan too.

Or Aster x salignus? Hopefully one of the two suggested.

Aster amellus … that was the first thought when I browsed through Gardentia. However it got a bit overwhelming to see so many other Asters seeming close to A. amellus when searched on internet.In eFI, only one picture has flowers looking like that of posted plant; other could be looking different on account of being cultivars. Flower at FoI looks quite close to what is posted here – and is identified by Nandan Kalbag (Gardentia).
Results on internet for Aster x salignus seem to show flowers quite similar to those posted here. Aster x salignus is not yet entered in eFI or FoI.

I will go with Aster x salignus; hopefully someone validates it soon.

Thank you very much … for suggesting possible IDs.

A link to herbarium in National Museum of Natural History is quite encouraging!

Thanks … for Aster x salignus.

You are welcome!

Can you kindly go through my post from Jijamata Udyan and comment if it is the same or something else?

It is same plant, without doubt,

Also check with images and postings at Symphyotrichum novi-belgii

…, thank you very much, the posted plant matches best to Symphyotrichum novi-belgii … though of course there are over 1000 named cultivars. Will soon label pictures in flickr accordingly.
