Keys are available at http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=6333&type=3

I think close to Blumea hieraciifolia as per images, details and references herein.

Validation required for the variety of Blumea hieracifolia (D. Don) DC. from Himachal. Kindly guide me over this. I am confused between var. hieracifolia and var. hamiltoni (DC.) C.B. Clarke.

I think it should be var. hieraciolia only.
var. hamiltonii I think has only one or two very distant cauline leaves and heads in more condensed fascicles:

Blumea axillaris (Lam.) DC. ??? : 7 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (7)

Location: Suryabinayak, Nepal  
Date: 7 January 2018
Elevation: 4600 ft.
Syn: Blumea mollis (D. Don) Merr.  ???

Looks different. Pl. check other species at
/species/a—l/ar/asteraceae/asteroideae/inuleae/blumea

Blumea hieracifolia Hayata  ???

Looks like matching with http://picssr.com/tags/blumealacera and Link but I could not validate !

I think it is close to Blumea oxyodonta as per images, details and references herein.

Looks different from images at Blumea lacera

On further scrutiny, I think it appears more closer to Blumea malcolmii rather than Blumea oxyodonta as per images, details and references in these links.

On further scrutiny, I will like to go with Blumea hieraciifolia (D. Don) DC. only, as per images, details and references herein.
