Would like to share images of Senecio dalzelii.
The key characters are:
Dichotomous braching, bract seen on peduncles. Leaf margins curved downward., leaves covered with white wooly tomentum, Pappus white.
The species was photographed in Vadgaon Maval, Maharashtra

Is the google image correct ?


Am not sure about these google images. I always prefer tallying my specimens with available flora literature and never with online images whose provenance is (most of the times) unknown. Hence I have tallied my specimen with Cook’s flora and it fits in very well!


Thanks, …, There is no harm in comparing if these are from reliable net links. 


Thanks, … Your id is perfectly all right in view of the following:

Senecio multiceps N.P.Balakr. ??


I think it’s Senecio gibsonii, plz validate


Lower leaves do not seem to match as per POWO specimen.
What are the other species listed in Maharashtra?


Senecio multiceps N.P.Balakr. ??


Does not match with this also as per POWO.


I tried to check with species listed in Flora of Peninsular India, with distribution in Maharashtra, but could not find a match.


Ok, I’ll check. during the next visit to the location


What are the other species listed in Maharashtra?


Senecio species found in Maharashtra – S bombayensis, S hewrensis, S  edgeworthi, S gibsonii, S belgaumensis, S dalzelii.


Than it must be out of these only.


It is Senecio dalzellii.
Linear leaves, dichotomous branching are the key characters.

Yes, as per POWO specimen.
