VoF Week :: DV :: 04 AUG 12 – 0959 :: aster herb along Ghangaria – Govind Ghat trail: Habitat: mountain slope I hope Myriactis wallichii Yes …, This is Genus Myriactis. Since the plant is not very clear I cannot say which species but most probably it seems to be wallichii as … has stated. Leaves don’t appear to agree well with Myriactus wallichii, at least in this one link I think matches with images at Myriactis nepalensis Less. Taking it as Myriactis wightii as per discussions in the post at Myriactis nepalensis on eFI Yes …, M. wightii

VOF Week: Myriactis wightii at VOF: May be Myriactis javanica???? I think it matches with images at Myriactis nepalensis Less. Taking it as Myriactis wightii as per discussions in the post at Myriactis nepalensis on eFI Agree with you . Actually all the images depicted on the eFI page for Myriactis nepalensis should be of Myriactis wightii. If you see the description of M. nepalensis on Flora of China, the ray florets are much smaller than the disk florets, and are in 8-10 series. The illustration on FOC page correctly depicts the species. The probable culprit for this confusion are the two images linked on the FOC page, which don’t agree with the illustration: http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=103836&flora_id=800 An image of Myriactis nepalensis from the book Flowers of the Se La by Magnus Lidén & Pankaj Bharali is attached here. In that case my posts should be addition to nepal. Please have a look at my posts. https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/fiotXcQ7yAU https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/cL343ekztdE However, POWO and the GBIF show the distribution for Nepal ! Yes, Myriactis wightiiis already known from Nepal. Also, do have a look at the images of M. wightii at POWO: https://powo.science.kew.org/names:234023-1/images There are images similar to the plants in your posts. Can you please send me the link of any journal/documentation if you have the access ?? you may be right in some sense. The confusion is confounded by Flora of British India and unfortunately BSI Flora mostly copying it blindly and showing distribution of both varieties of M. wightii in Tamil Nadu, var, wightii in Sri Lanka also. After thorough scrutiny, I agree with you. Although the keys are correct, the distribution given is wrong in BSI Flora of India. Please have a look at all my posts in efi and opine As I still feel confused, let us see the detailed descriptions:
Truth is somewhere in between. .
I think it would be logical to place it under M. javanica, following BSI Flora and COL. Larger heads are very distinctive I think ray florets are more closer to Myriactis wallichii in shape rather than those of M.wightii. Or maybe the id is correct as in FOI. M. wallichii would have shorter (less than 1 mm long) ray florets like M. nepalensis but only 2-4 series
I am confused about it, but taking it as Myriactis nepalensis as per discussions in the post at Myriactis nepalensis on eFI for the time being. M. wightii …, note fewer series of ray florets longer than 2 mm Taking it as Myriactis nepalensis only as per further discussions in other posts Keeping it as M. wightii only. .
