efloraofindia:”For Id 09112011MR2’’ wild plant with leaves arranged in a whorl Pune: Kindly help Id this plant growing wild at Pune in Sep 2011 grows barely above the ground Leaves are green arranged in a whorl never seen any flowers or fruits … this is called a basal rossette.. I donot know what it is… very common in many weeds including go-jiwha, dandelion, chickory etc to name a few… cant say from basal leaves… which by the way often are different from what appears later on further up as the top develops… wait and watch what kind of inflorescence develops I think it is Conyza bonariensis I have observed this plant and surrounding other similar plants for almost a month, very slow growth , no stem has grown out of this whorl of leaves as yet and neither flowered. Conyza sumatrensis (Retz.) E.Walker?? https://www.gbif.org/species/8334709 ??? . VoF week: 19092012 BS 19 Conyza sp for id from the way to Ghangriya: It is a distant shot so not very clear, but if young heads are in flower it could be C. canadensis, but if in flower we can think about C. sumatrensis. It is a very tall plant than C. canadensis with much shorter ray florets and comes to flower in August-September, whereas C. canadensis generally completes flowering in in June July. It is very common around this time in Kashmir. We saw lot of them in Chakrata last year. Thanks Sir I will try to see some enlarged view of this |
