Flora of Chakrata 2012: Picris hieracioides for validation:
This one was shot from Budher caves road, around wheat field borders.… kindly validate the id, I hope this one is Picris hieraciodes Linn. Sp. Pl. 2: 792, 1753


I think yes, … Very good photographs


is this the one known as go-jivha?


Thanks … for validation, we had also spotted it during our last year’s visit to the same area… … as far as I know this is not known as “go-jihva”, none of its parts resemble with cow’s tongue. “Go-jihva” I have come to know is Elephantopus scaber, a plant I have yet to see.…experts may comment further, thanks a lot…


but Elephantopus scaber is elephants foot, isn’t it?

But ayurvedic books i currently have list Onosma bracteatum Wall. (Boraginaceae) as Gojvha ,,,, but i distinctly remember trying to id a yellow flower on a branched herb like the one shown in this thread, I had found some old books of indian flora published in uk with handtinted drawings that had this plant and a name go-jivha… i need to see if i can find atleast a xerox copy if saved…
colloquial names can be quite confusing…

Picris hieracioides subsp. kaimaensis (Kitam.) Kitam. ??


Yes, appears close to images at Picris hieracioides

As per Checklist of Nepal and POWO, only Picris hieracioides subsp. kaimaensis Kitam. is reported from Nepal.
But we have to find out the difference it has compared to Picris hieracioides subsp. hieracioides


Thank you … I shall take this as Picris hieracioides subsp. kaimaensis (Kitam.) Kitam.
since it is listed in the book of  Karnali Province I had referred earlier in relation to another sp.


Flora of North America gives Picris hieracioides Linnaeus syn. P. hieracioides subsp. kamtschatica (Ledebour) Hultén).
Flora of China says 

“Presence in China and the status of P. hieracioides subsp. kaimaensis Kitamura, said to occur in the Himalaya as well as in NE Asia (Korea, Mongolia), need evaluation in the context of a revision of the P. hieracioides complex in E Asia”


What do we do now … ?

Enclosing my earlier post on Picris hieracioides.
