Senecio bombayensis Balakr. or some similar genera? I not sure at all. In fact, I am unable to say the genus also.


the involucre of bracts looks like that of Phyllocephalum or similar genera…please check

More likely to be a species of Pentanema


Pl. check comparative images at

my friend … has also suggeted it to be as Pentanemae cernum, it looks so except for the flowers, please see

I think this is Vicoa sahyadrica Nandikar & Sardesai as per
Vicoa sahyadrica (Asteraceae), a new species from Western India with a note on Dalzell’s Vicoa cernua and Heracleum grandiflorum– MAYUR D. NANDIKAR & MILIND M. SARDESAI- Phytotaxa 514 (3): 275–286 17 Aug. 2021 (Abstract: Recently described two new species, viz. Pinda shrirangii (Apiaceae) and Vicoa gokhalei (Asteraceae), are reviewed for their taxonomy. An illegitimate Heracleum grandiflorum Dalzell & Gibson (non Steven ex M. Bieb.) is recognised as conspecific with P. shrirangii and proposed as a new synonym of the latter. Vicoa gokhalei is found to be conspecific with V. cernua Dalzell. Consequently, Vicoa cernua sensu Gosavi et al. with inconspicuously ligulate ray florets and more pappose achenes is described here as a new species, viz. Vicoa sahyadrica Nandikar & Sardesai.)
