Another Crepis id.. albeit a much smaller one..
Location Kalatope, Chamba

Habit herb
Habitat wild/roadside, fields
Height 2 ft

Sorry for bringing this up again…. but I think the bill of C. sancta might fit this plant??


Maybe these photos might be of some help…. (the black measure is in mm)


Sorry again for the incomplete info.. here is the photo with the basal leaf length… width of the inflorescence was 25-30 cms.. the width of the flower is obvious in the previous photo..


Achenes flattened, without beak; involucre bracts 6-8; leaves pinnatifid …….. Crepis japonicus
This clearly explains the importance of proper display and analysis of photographs.

Hawkweed? ABAPR01/05 : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)
I am hazarding a guess here. Is it a Hawkweed? Youngia japonica perhaps? Please advise.

Youngia japonica?

The images are of two different plants.
The whole plant on a slope is different from the ones of which the close ups are taken.

I agree with your conclusion..this herb is Youngia japonica..


… had confirmed the identity of this plant as the Youngia japonica (earlier Crepis japonica) last year. I have made a more detailed study of this flower in February and March this year. I hope this confirms the identity beyond doubt. I haven’t seen red stigmas on any Y. japonica flower closeup online but may be that’s variable.

Pl. check with comparative images at Cichorieae


I think closer to images at Crepis foetida L.  as per comparative images at Cichorieae


Crepis foetida L. is not listed in Nepal and it is not matching to any Crepis listed in Nepal.

Youngia japonica (L.) DC.


KEW says this one is present in Nepal, can’t say altitude, – POWO
Note the name “foetida” has been struck out – herbcat
Please check if this can be your species.
Crepis foetida L. is neither present in India nor in Nepal, if KEW is correct – POWO

Launaea sp. ?


Thanks, …, Pl. check comparative images at Launaea & Cichorieae


Pl. check images of Launaea asplenifolia Hook.f.

I am afraid it does not look like matching. In this case leaves look different with papery nature whereas pics on googles looks thicker in nature.

To me it looks close to images at Launaea asplenifolia Hook.f.
Generally lot of images which come up on google search, may be of some other species.
If you give links of the concerned page of a website where an image (seen by you on google search) is residing, it can be further analysed.

Leaves looks like little different according to the link

Please help me to identify this herb species found along the road sides of Vaalparai region.

Height: 20 cm
Flower: 1cm long
Leaf: c.8cm long
Place: Vaalparai, TN
Date: 29 July 2012
Alt.: 930 m asl

This could be Emilia sp


Emilia coccinea (Sims) G.Don


but according to me it may not be Emilia sp.


Since the flowers are in an unopened condition I cannot say anything about the flowers but if we have a close look of the lower portion of the plant it is Youngia japonica.
