emilia sonchifolia Please Check Emilia sonchifolia Sir Thanks … for forwarding, thanks to … for their opinion… But I am sure this cannot be Emilia sonchifolia Eight species of Emilia are known in India as per BSI document. Emilia prenanthoidea DC. ! Emilia prenanthoidea DC. and Emilia zeylanica C.B.Clarke are difficult to differentiate. In this particular case presence of so much hairs on leaves are point of concern (in both cases).
I think it would be E. zeylanica C.B. Clarke I think it more closer to Emilia prenanthoidea (phyllaries 10 as per Flora of China). Pl. see long phyllaries as per GBIF– specimen. (Involucres cylindric or narrowly campanulate, 6-11 × 2-3 mm; phyllaries 10, oblong, 6-12 × 1-2 mm, shorter than florets, glabrous, margin scarious).
I did not find the description of Emilia zeylanica on net, but phyllaries appears to be less and short as per POWO and GBIF– specimen. ![]() “Thanks, … I think it more closer to Emilia prenanthoidea (phyllaries 10 as per Flora of China). Pl. see long phillaries as per GBIF– specimen. (Involucres cylindric or narrowly campanulate, 6-11 × 2-3 mm; phyllaries 10, oblong, 6-12 × 1-2 mm, shorter than florets, glabrous, margin scarious).”
Yet, I subscribe to your and … suggestion, only because of the location of the specimen, not on a single point of your analysis. .
