Synotis triligulata (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) C.Jeffrey & Y.L.Chen To me looks different from images at Synotis triligulata What are the species reported from your area ? Synotis cappa, S.lushaiensis, and S.triligulata are recorded in Mizoram Synotis pentantha (Merr.) M.Tang, C.Ren & Q.E.Yang ?? Phytotaxa: In conclusion, Senecio pentanthus and Synotis triligulata are morphologically two distinct species. The former is a fairly widespread species occurring in Bhutan, China (Xizang, Yunnan), northeastern India, Myanmar, Nepal and northern Thailand whereas the latter is restrictedly distributed in Nepal. The following treatment, therefore, is necessary.
Synotis lushaensis (C.E.C.Fisch.) C.Jeffrey & Y.L.Chen looks more close? Giving here the keys from Reinstatement of the Sino-Himalayan species Senecio pentanthus (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) MING TANG, CHEN REN & QIN-ER YANG – Phytotaxa 292 (3): 253–261 (2017):

Here are the keys from Flora of China:
So pl. post the high resolution images to check all these aspects. I will go for Synotis triligulata

MS Feb.,2016/04 Shrub for ID : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) Location : Hmuifang, Mizoram Inula sp. Pl. check with Duhaldea cuspidata (Wall. ex DC.) Anderb. as per comparative images at Duhaldea How does Duhaldea griffithii (C.B.Clarke) Anderb. plant look like?? Looks different as per Duhaldea griffithii in GBIF What are the Inula species listed in your area? Inula cappa, I.eupatorioides, I.nervosa & I.rubricaulis are recorded in Mizoram Out of the four species listed, it appears close only to Duhaldea eupatorioides as per GBIF– specimen 1, specimen2 and description in Flora of China. However, I am a bit doubtful as leave nerves look a bit different and less in no., although nothing is specified in the description in FoC.
Specimens from GBIF at following look different:
1 high resolution image.
Yes, looks different from Duhaldea eupatorioides too. What are the Senecio species recorded in your area? Senecio wightianus & S.wightii are recorded in Mizoram I do not think it matches with either of the two as per images and details at Senecio wightii and Senecio scandens If you have high resolution images, pl. send.
