Requesting to please ID this plant captured growing wild in Ooty in November 2013. Is this some Acmella sps?

Acmella paniculata I hope


Thank you … for the feedback. However, the leaves in the pic posted at FoI look different…


The Plant shown on FOI is not A. paniculata. It is A. uliginosa. A. paniculata does not have ray florets


Thank you … I take it as Acmella paniculata then….


This has a pale white form also


Please see the key on our website
White heads mostly belong to A. radicans


I think this may be A.calva (syn. S. clava) as per Research Gate publication.
