ID that plant plzz, Lahore Pakistan


Check for Grangea maderaspatana (Madras Carpet)
Asteraceae


no, i also have a seedling photo of the same plant.. its leaves are changed and some how thick


You are right, last nite when i saw this I had thought that this is not madras carpet

leaves of this case are different

succulent almost with daisy like flower

I need to search and study


Please check if Epaltes australis Less. can be found in that region.


Perhaps I was wrong, it rather looks like Centipeda minima (L.) A.Braun & Asch.


Agreeing with …, this is likey to be Centipeda minima …..

To me this is Centipeda minima from Asteraceae


is it not spheranthus indicus of asteraceae


Plz check Sphaeranthus indicus


Centipeda elatinoides (syn. Centipeda minima) as per another thread.


It is surely Centipeda elatinoides syn. C. minuta, commonly known as sneezing weed. It is known as Naak Chhikru (means which induces sneezing in nose) in Himachal.
From earlier thread of 2013


Only 2 sp., Centipeda elatinoides (Less.) O.Hoffm. and Centipeda minima (L.) A.Braun & Asch. are found distribution in India and only Centipeda minima (L.) A.Braun & Asch. and its  subsp. Centipeda minima subsp. minima is found in Assam according to one link (PDF) A revision of Centipeda (Asteraceae) its attached screen shot. So, I guess, it could be C. minima or its subsp.
