You might recall another Asteraceae herb – Tricholepis glaberrima – with a similar sounding Gujarati name – Fusiyarun. I’ve noticed that certain plants which tend to cling on to animal fur or human clothing are addressed as such in Gujarati.

1750m approx. 12 November 2014. This is Bidens pilosa, of the same family.
But leaves are divided into three loves, could it be Bidens pilosa? efi page on Bidens biternata & Bidens pilosa
As per efi thread:
The species Bidens biternata is distinct from B. pilosa in much smaller number of florets, linear involucre bracts which are ciliate (nearly spathulate and glabrous in B. pilosa) I think … more correct.

Is this Bidens pilosa? Looks a little different from the other B. pilosa plants I have seen. Is it the variation ‘minor’ as in efloraofindia page? Please advise.

1800m The ray florets are not very prominent, so it may be Bidens bipinnata L Thank you … once again. Doesn’t B. bipinnata have pinnate fern-like leaves? Leaflet (segment) margin is prominently toothed/serrate, so it should be B. biternata. Also leaves are less divided with large terminal segment. In B. bipinnata leaves are twice to thrice pinnatisect with entire leaflet (segment) margin. Both lack rays or may have up to 5 yellow ones, they are white and prominent in B. pilosa. Thank you very much … once again. I had thought of B. biternata and then disregarded it because of the number of leaflets; http://eol.org/pages/2895874/overview
My sample had three instead of 5-7 suggested by the eol site.
Nice case to remember for good pictures and … differential diagnosis
I took a couple more photos of the plant yesterday to see if it illustrates better. The petals looks white (perhaps faded from yellow as we see yellow lines on the white surface) and another head is forming the achenes. 3 images.
These are now flowering in good numbers. Most are about 4 feet tall and grouped together on slopes. Please correct me if I am misidentifying them. Bidens pilosa
