You are expert in discovering and sharing so many different plants not shared earlier on the group. Keep it up. Very good find. I know only Elephantopus scaber from Western ghats. Interesing to another species from the genus.

I could not find it in Bengal Plants and F. B. I., but a college text book informs this is a common weed, here.

I agree with … We are all the richer for your being here, and your persistence, and ultimately we may even end applauding your scholarship…
