Appears close to Blumea species to me.

Pl. check with comparative images at Blumea. Also check with images at Blumea aromatica DC.

Thank you for the ID. Blumea aromatica Wall. ex DC. (accepted name)

I think more close to images at Blumea hieraciifolia

the above Photos belong to Blumea macrostachya DC.

A high-altitude plant type locality is Noakote, Nepal

Previously, it was considered a Variety of Blumea hieracifolia DC.

Distribution – India: Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Sikkim, Tripura, Odisha, possibly Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand Foothills
Dear …, I request you to send it to Flowers of India for website upload.

Thank you for the update. Almost 8 years.

However, according to the eflora Nepal it was considered as the Syn., but now

all the databases have separated them as two distinct sps. with distribution in Nepal.

But the latest checklist of Nepal has not included it. Anyways, it cannot be a new sp.

for Nepal I guess.

The Flowers of India do not include images from other countries.
Can you please share the article with me ?
