Seen this herb at VOF.
Bot. name: Myriactis wightii
Family: Asteraceae
Date/Time: 08-08-2012 / 12:05PM
Taking it as Myriactis nepalensis as per discussions in the post at Myriactis nepalensis on eFI
In view of Singh ji’s post of Myriactis nepalensis, I think it more likely to be Myriactis wallichii as per keys in BSI Flora of India and FoC.
Another case for M. javanica as per BSI and COL
To me these images almost look same as in

Wild Herb captured on 13/8/10 during the trek from Ghangaria (around 11,000 ft.) to Hemkunt Sahib (around 14000 ft.).
Myriactis nepalensis, the ligules some times turn purplish with age.
Myriactis nepalensis indeed
Thanks, … I think it is not there in Concise Flowers of Himalayas by Oleg Polunin & Adam Stainton. However, flowers look different (though may be same species as pointed out by …) in earlier thread on Myriactis nepalensis– may be due to different time of photographs
The species is common in Himalayas and has white ray florets, but may be some times purplish

Also matches with images in FOI.
POWO mentions M.javanica as a syn. of M.wightii.
Let us place it under M. javanica following BSI Flora and COL
