This yellow flower seen growing wild on roadside from guwahati to cherrapunjee. Picture taken on 7th december2008 Appears like some Aster species from Compositae family. This grows at my place too. It adds a lot of colour but grows like a weed. wouldn’t it be some kind of wild sunflower? At least the seeds look like that. It’s Tithonia sp. from Asteraceae. I will confirm the species & inform you later. Appears to be Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A.Gray

check tithonia sp??? like t. diversifola?
we have had a case but this seems to show the palmate leaves, the flowers, buds, anf height of the plant more clearly. I have this plant grown in my garden. It is Tithonia diversifolia. Grows very fast. The height is 10 – 15 ft. Just put a stem cutting. The plant grows very easily. Needs very less care. I will post the photographs in a separate posting later.
Leaves are variant. One can see simple leaves as well as palmate leaves. Shape changes as the plant grows.
yes, … that’s why its diversifolia, i guess. can you show us pictures of the various leaves and of seeds, please thanks.
I am attaching herewith the photographs of the plant showing flowers/ foliage. Please note the diverse nature of the leaves (different shapes of leaves).
Photos taken in my garden during August 2018
