Closet I could reach as per comparative images at Senecio is Senecio scandens Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don

Are you Ok with this id of Senecio scandens ?


I am still not sure. Leaves looks like different!

Any other species available in Nepal checklist of this genus which is not there in efi database.

Synotis cappa (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) C.Jeffrey & Y.L.Chen ??

Pl. post high resolution images to check the details.
It appears possible as per FoC illustration  Checklist of Nepal  POWO  GBIF specimen from Nepal and it specimens as below:

senecio? at 2400m : 10 posts by 3 authors.
Is this a senecio?
Nepal – Janakpur (NP)
21-10-2018
Underway from Kyama to Umarthirta in Numbur valley at about 2400m
Along the path at a dry place

Synotis sp. ??


Does not seem to match with the existing species in efi site at Synotis


Senecio is also possible as per comparative images herein.

Those hairy leaves; isn’t that a key to the species? It was a dry place along a road

I have incorporated key at Senecio from Flora of Bhutan.
However, this species look different than available in Bhutan.

It is Senecio as per keys herein.


Yes, it appears so.

Inula cuspidata (Wall. ex DC.) C.B.Clarke (provisionally accepted name) ?? or
Solidago virga-aurea L. (provisionally accepted name)  ?? or some different ???

I think does not match with images at Solidago virgaurea or Duhaldea cuspidata
Also does not match with comparative images at Inuleae 

The white particles over the leaves are snow or dust or characteristic of it?
Just asking in interest.


Some Senecio or Synotis species ?

It is Senecio rufinervis


Solidago virgaurea L.
European Goldenrod.
No Nepali Name

Does not match with its images at

Synotis rufinervis (DC.) C.Jeffrey & Y.L.Chen
But some confusion about the flowering period and the elevation.


Any further information about this ?


Synotis rufinervis Syn. Senecio rufinervis


I think this looks like Synotis cappa (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) C.Jeffrey & Y.L.Chen !
Please have a look.


Further Synotis cappa is different from Duhaldea cappa (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Pruski & Anderb.
Description from Flora of China:
Synotis cappa (Buchanan-Hamilton ex D. Don) C. Jeffrey & Y. L. Chen
Subshrubs or shrubby herbs, rhizomatous. Stems erect, to 150 cm tall, often flexuous, densely lanate or arachnoid-tomentose, ± glabrescent when old, simple or usually branching above in synflorescences, leafless in lower part at anthesis. Leaves petiolate or sometimes subsessile; petiole to 10 mm, stout, densely tomentose, base often auriculate; blade broadly to narrowly obovate-oblanceolate or oblong-elliptic, 10-28 × 4-8 cm, papery, abaxially densely to sparsely fulvous pubescent on veins and densely to sparsely whitish tomentose, sometimes ± glabrescent, adaxially shortly densely to sparsely pubescent and sometimes thinly white arachnoid to subglabrous, pinnately veined, lateral veins 12-28, arcuate-ascending, base attenuate, margin finely to coarsely mucronulate-serrate, apically acuminate. Upper leaves and leaves of branches lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, gradually smaller. Capitula radiate, usually numerous, arranged in terminal and axillary usually 10-20-headed dense compound corymbs or thyrses; peduncles 5-10 mm, densely tomentose, with a few linear or linear-subulate bracts. Involucres narrowly campanulate, 5-7 × 2-4 mm, calyculate; bracts of calyculus ca. 8, linear-lanceolate, 3-5 mm, apically acuminate; phyllaries 8-13, linear-lanceolate, ca. 1 mm wide, herbaceous, densely tomentose, margin narrowly scarious, apically obtuse to acute and puberulent. Ray florets ca. 8; corolla tube ca. 2.5 mm; lamina yellow, ca. 3.5 × 1 mm, 4-veined, 3-denticulate. Disk florets 11-17; corolla yellow, ca. 5 mm, with ca. 1.5 mm tube and funnelform limb; lobes ovate-oblong, ca. 1.5 mm, apically acute. Anthers ca. 2.5 mm; anther tails slightly exceeding antheropodia; appendages ovate-oblong; antheropodia rather slender, basally slightly dilated. Style branches ca. 1 mm, fringed with short papillae, terminal tuft not evident. Achenes ca. 2 mm, glabrous. Pappus white, ca. 5 mm.
Fl. Oct-Jan.

Forest margins, thickets, streamsides, meadows; 1500-2300 m.
Guangxi, Sichuan, Xizang, Yunnan [Bhutan, NE India, Myanmar, Nepal, N Thailand].

Yes … ! Earlier,  Senecio cappa Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don and Inula cappa (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) DC. !

Leaf margin does not look like matching.


To me looks different from comparative images at Senecioneae

Is this the same as SK1671 23 Dec 2018 ??

Sir I think its Senecio sp. but leaf structure doesn’t matched with the common Senecio sp. Its leaves structure somewhat close to Senecio ovatus, but its may be a cultivated one. i don’t found its distribution record in india. Another characters such as leaf shape, distribution pattern are best matched with S. ovatus. Sir i also suggest an another species name Senecio nemorensis, also check with this one.


Mostly my posts are from Nepal. This is also from Nepal.
By the way both] sp. you have suggested is not listed in Nepal.


Yes, to me also appear close to images of Duhaldea cuspidata (Wall. ex DC.) Anderb. in your other post at SK1671 23 Dec 2018 


Some confusion remains about the flowering period as there is difference of 2-3 months late than recorded. And some differences in flowering pattern compared to images in the net, less petals compared to net images.
