Family : Asteraceae. dagadi pala (दगडी पाला) in Marathi I remember using it as antiseptic on cuts and wounds during my childhood. We could find it everywhere growing as weed. No Tantani or Ghaneri is Lantana camara Yes I too remember squeezing the juice of the leaves and applying it on wounds during childhood Feb 2012 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. I mean, smaller for this to be Common Cerulean. I feel this would be something like Cupid.
Common Cerulean has a thick dark band on the edge of fore-wing and there are few dark spots in the hind wing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/niyo/5348062037/

efloraofindia:”For Id 04102012MR1’’ wild herb with tiny yellow flowers at Pune: 23/09/2012 Pune
request to Id a wild herb ht 6 in,
leaf 4cm x1 cm, soft,
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. .
