Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- TALAKAVERI, KODAGU, KARNATAKA, 4350 FT Did not find distribution in Karnataka. Any possibility of Anaphalis margaritacea (L.) Benth. ?? However could not find distribution in KT.
Appears close to images at Anaphalis contorta (D.Don) Hook.f., but I do not find any distribution in the area. On examining specimens of four species in GBIF, of Anaphalis showing distribution in the area as per Flora of Peninsular India, I think it close to Anaphalis lawii (GBIF) Looks different from others i.e. Anaphalis subdecurrens (GBIF), Anaphalis wightiana (GBIF) and Anaphalis marcescens (GBIF) Really confusing. On further consideration, I think more closer to Anaphalis wightiana (GBIF) as per specimen one, two and three .

Anaphalis ¿ species ? … (family: Asteraceae)
Dear friends, Pl. Check comparative images at EFI. I think it does not match with any species as per comparative images at Anaphalis …, please check with Anaphalis bournei. Thanks very much, … I have a strong feeling that it must be Anaphalis lawii (Hook.f.) Gamble
I think this is more closer to Anaphalis wightiana as per details herein and as per GBIF specimens one, two
rather than Anaphalis lawii (Hook.f.) Gamble as per images at Anaphalis sp-3 for ID- 27022014-PKA-Feb59
Thanks … for the possible ID. . References: POWO Catalogue of Life The Plant List Ver.1.1 GCC IPNI GBIF– one, two and three (High resolution specimens) Flora of peninsular India India Biodiversity Portal IBIS Flora (Flora of British India) Biotik Kerala plants
