Flora of Eastern Ghats: Hill Ranges of South East India, Volume 3 By T. Pullaiah, K. Sri Ramamurthy (Keys- oxyodonta, eriantha, randerii, bifoliata, fistulosa, laciniata, hieracifolia, lacera, mollis (=axillaris), membranacea & virens & description)
. As per efi thread : FI notes, “It (B. laciniata syn. of B. sinuata ) differs from lacera, in having all the leaves laciniate and from terebinthinacea (???) in the inflorescence and flowers.” FI doesn’t mention any other difference.
FI further records, 1) in laciniata stem is striate.. 2) in lacera stem erect, branchy, particularly near the ground; lower leaves are petioled, lyred; the superiors ones simply oval and many times smaller.

Attaching images of an unknown plant that i think is a Blumea sp. Is it Blumea lacera ?
Species : UNKNOWN
Habit & Habitat : wild herb, height- 1 ft, roadside
Date : 13-04-2012, 11.00 a.m.
Place : Hooghly, WB Yes …, I hope your id is correct, very beautiful pics… Found similar images at –
1) http://hkwildlife.net/viewthread.php?tid=63059
2) /wp-content/uploads/Blumea-lacera_Gedawang_03.jpg.htm Sir, I too will go with Blumea lacera.
This seems to be the same Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC., (Bengali names – KUKUR-SUNGA, BARA-SUKSUNG, BARA-KOKSING), as in my earlier post at – https://groups.google.com/indiantreepix/V8Y/discussion.
Blumea sp, I suppose Any chance of it being B. lacera? I think this is Blumea lacera Looks different from images of Blumea lacera at Flowers of India Useful Tropical Plants GBIF (With type specimens) PICSSR
Yes it is Blumea lacera Thanks, … But Looks different from images of Blumea lacera at
Flowers of India Useful Tropical Plants GBIF (With type specimens) PICSSR
Identifying Asteraceae members by these type of photographs is really a challenge; one has to look the specimen in detail, hence there may be some errors, even some reputed websites also differ, the herbarium specimens sometimes may not given a clear picture. I am not an expert in Asteraceae

Blumea? Just a wild guess ! Blumea aurita (L.f.) DC ???? I do not think it matches with images at Blumea viscosa (Mill.) V.M.Badillo (syn: Blumea aurita (L.f.) DC. ) Plant Detail ?? Any match ? To me appears close to Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC. as per images, details and references herein. Thank you …!

Thank you …, Yes, I guess so !
140212 BRS311: Location: Sadivayal, Coimbatore
Habitat: Wild
Habit: Herb. Could be a species of Blumea of Asteraceae family. Yah!! surely looks like Blumea sp. Appears close to images at Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC.           Hooghly : Blumea? yet another : Attachments (10). 3 posts by 2 authors.
This 3 ft Blumea (?) was growing in a Bamboo thicket. The plant is hairy all over. Photographs were taken on 02nd April, 2013, in Hooghly. To me appears close to Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC. as per images, details and references herein.
Asteraceae Fortnight Part 2- Discoid Heads: Blumea 02 : Hooghly :sk03 : Attachments (3).
The plant posted in this thread is same as in my previous – https://groups.google.com/indiantreepix/40J (Hooghly : Blumea? yet another ) “Bengal Plants” has 13 Blumea, of which we should have –
I note some info on the last one, Blumea membranacea DC. –
While B. membranacea DC. in FBI (vol3, p265) is “common throughout India”, Conyza diffusa Roxb. of FI (vol3, p429) is “a native of Bengal” !!!
The Plant List recognizes the above as two different taxa –
FoC doesn’t recognize Blumea paniculata – http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=104121, neither does GRIN – http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?1520
Can this be Conyza diffusa Roxb.? efi page on Blumea paniculata (Syn. Conyza diffusa Roxb.) This is surely not Blumea paniculata of eFI. To me appears close to Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC. as per images, details and references herein.         Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC. from Kamrup district, Assam : 8 correct images of Blumea lacera as above. 3 posts by 3 authors. I think attached images are Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC collected from two different places of Kamrup district. Please confirm the ID.

Family : Asteraceae
Genus & species : Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC (?)
Habitat: Grows wild
Habit : Herb
Flower : yellow I also think it is Blumea lacera DC. While first eight images are of Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC., other five images appears to be of Blumea sinuata (Lour.) Merr.

¿ Blumea ? sp. Place, Altitude: along NH17 near Loliem, Goa (about 85 ft asl) I think it (with yellow flowers) is close to Blumea lacera as per details and references herein and as per high resolution specimens at
Pl. also see … post at Hooghly : Blumea? yet another
This one does look very similar to that in … post, and does look like B. lacera.
Thank you very much … for combing the Blumea posts.
I earnestly hope more of those who are familiar with Blumea spp. come forward and express their thoughts. Thanks, … Blumea’s are really really difficult. I never got the courage to look at them for a long long time.
But finally I took the plunge and have been working on these for last five days.
I am now getting the clarity on this genus.
Hope more experts come up and take revision of different genera in efi site. There are too many variations in sizes of leaves as well as plant heights, they confuse me easily, never could get familiar with almost any of them.
Regular field visitors should be able to help us sort the IDs. yes it looks like Blumea lacera    asteraceae
habit herb A species of Blumea May be close to images at Blumea lacera (Burm.f.) DC. Comparing with images from efi I guess B. lacera is the correct ID !
Id-180212-PR-1: asteraceae This doesn’t look like Sonchus Blumea or Laggera sp?? It is blumea. Species I am not sure I could not find a match as per comparative images at Blumea . SK 3683 28 January 2023: 9 very high res. images. Location: Jalthal, Jhapa, East Nepal
Date: 02 January 2023
Elevation: 67 m.
Habitat: Wild Which Blumea is this ? Pl. check: Elevation and the size of the plant does not look like matching and upper layer leaf shapes as well. On checking all species listed in the Checklist of Nepal, I think it appears close to Blumea lacera (Burf. f.) DC., as per POWO and Checklist of Nepal.

This one is also 2 ft. as in my other post (efi thread). Features are –
The pictures were shot yesterday and today (17.3.13), at the same place. I think appears close to Blumea axillaris (Lam.) DC. as per images, details and references herein. As flower heads are yellow, it is more likely to be Blumea lacera (Burf. f.) DC. . References:
