Rajgad, Dec 2014 :: Requesting ID – Asteraceae :: ARKFEB-05/05 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (4) Please ID this plant captured at Rajgad near Pune in Dec 2014. This is Blumea sp. Blumea species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) I think Blumea is one of the most complicated genus. Unfortunately, I think we do not have one single expert only of Blumea (along with Conyza). So, what I am going to suggest may entirely be wrong – Since heads are not sessile we may reject probability of hieraciifolia, but there is photograph of peduncled capitulum. Yet I skip this for heads in the attached photographs in this thread looks smaller. I am telling all the time that sizes are important in every respect. Finger tips are useless here. We have B. oxyodonta in our database, I also reject this as the species here doesn’t look like decumbent small one. Please try to provide as much description as you can in future. Our database of B. eriantha does feature photograph of this species. The species has sessile leaves at least in upper part. Please check probability. I repeat I can be 100% wrong. It’s not that easy. Thank you … for spending so much time and effort on the analysis… I think it is close to Blumea oxyodonta as per images, details and references herein. On further scrutiny, I think more closer to Blumea malcolmii rather than Blumea oxyodonta as per images, details and references in these links. Photographs are of Blumea malcolmii Hook f Yes, Sushant ji. This species is densely white wooly at stems, leaves, infl. axes etc. as per keys at Blumea Key
