This plant I had photographed from near Nandini (closer to Udhampur) in J&K on 22 August this year and again on 16 September from Mussoorie Chakrata road near Kalsi. In Nandini I found only plants with divided leaves, where as in Chakrata route both with divided and almost entire leaves. The plant grows to height of about 50 cm or more, erect or slightly ascending, leaves up to 5 cm long, divided into lanceolate-oblong segments or barely toothed; heads are yellow about 3-4 mm across, with few very small ligules.

Yes … Nice photographs.
Thank you once again … These are old photographs from the times when I didn’t know which features to photograph. I hope to find these again this year and do a proper series.
Still you did a good job. Thanks
It should be Conyza stricta var. pinnatifida as per keys in Flora of China.
Something like Conyza, Blumea etc.
I also think this should be Conyza stricta..
It should be Conyza stricta var. pinnatifida as per keys in Flora of China.

Conyza stricta var. pinnatifida (D. Don) Kitam. ??
Yes, appears close as per images at Conyza stricta
According to Book on Karnali Province (Referred earlier also):
Conyza stricta Willd. elevation 600-2000m.
Conyza stricta var. pinnatifida (D. Don) Kitam. elevation 1000-2700m.
Shall we take this as Conyza stricta var. pinnatifida (D. Don) Kitam. ??
Is it not a syn. as per POWO and CoL?

https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/5N937
https://www.gbif.org/species/5404804
Then we have to also follow this treatment on our site.
Take it as Conyza stricta var. pinnatifida (D. Don) Kitam. as per CoL and POWO (Accepted by Roskov Y. & al. (eds.) (2018). Species 2000 & ITIS Catalogue of Life Naturalis, Leiden, the Netherlands).
On further checking, I found a specimen of Conyza stricta var. stricta from Nepal at POWO to be similar looking.
1a. Lower leaf margin coarsely serrate, rarely entire; upper leaves gradually reduced …… var. stricta
1b. Lower leaf margin deeply repand-pinnatilobate, lobes 2-paired, oblong-oblanceolate or cuneate, margin entire, terminal lobe larger; upper leaves and those on branches 3-fid …… var. pinnatifida
So we can take it as Conyza stricta var. pinnatifida
