Picture taken in Asansol (W.B.) dated 05/06/11 time 3:45 PM. Growing in abundance in open fields. The flower shoots up and the rest of the plant remains at ground level in dense undergrowth. It is seen in large patches as if somebody has planted them on a flower bed. On the side seen a matured flower disbursing it seeds which carries along with air.
This is the Coat Buttons [Tridax procumbens].

Yes I too remember squeezing the juice of the leaves and applying it on wounds during childhood
.
efloraofindia:”For Id 10032012MR3’’ what is the name of this butterfly @ Pune:
Feb 2012
Please Id this blue butterfly on Tridax procumbens at Pune
Difficult as stated by …, but this could be the Common Cerulean.
The size of the butterfly when compare to the Tridax inflorescence, suggests that this is a smaller butterfly.

efloraofindia:”For Id 04102012MR1’’ wild herb with tiny yellow flowers at Pune:
flower 2mm head , it seemed all flowers had only 3 petals. No fruits were seen
Attaching a cropped up pic of ?fruit of this plant
Can this be some Blumea species?
Tridox procumbens
Capitula solitary ?
This is not T.procumbens.
some Bidens sp.?
I do not think matches with any species as per comparative images at Bidens
I don’t know, Madam, if you still access eFI site or receive emails from the group. I didn’t forget that in those days we had certain personal communication over this species. But I was not ready then, and asteraceae is still complicated to me.
However, this plant should be Tridax procumbens L., not the usual form we see around. (POWO).
It took me 9-long years!!!
What is worrying is the multiple heads instead of solitary heads.
Initially it was my concern too, Sir. But then I thought those heads are actually in early stages of developing individual peduncle. Please check the attached plates – two from uploaded set and the other two plates from photographs I captured this afternoon.
Thank you so much, …, for solving this puzzle.
Indeed. it is a great relief.
Thank you Sir, my relief too, because I noticed capitula are identical, yet the specimen is very unfamiliar. When I noticed that Paradesi ji suggested the id I wanted to dig more.
