I saw this plant growing at an altitude of 2100 mtrs. The flowers, as evident from the picture, were not more than 5- 8 mm in diameter. Plz help with the identification.

May be Lactuca sp., perhaps Lactuca longifolia


I guess it is matching : Lactuca dolichophylla  !

Lactuca dolichophylla Kitam.:
Lactuca dolichophylla Kitam. in FoI looks like Lactuca dissecta D. Don


I think you are right … Picture by me cannot be of Lactuca dolichophylla– I don’t know how that blunder happened. … plant may be Lactuca dolichophylla– I will check out the leaves.


Not to worry … Oversight happens due to overload !



My plant … is unmistakeable, with its linear undivided leaves, larger heads. I am adding image of  habit. Just for information. This plant is from my Ph.D research area (1969-74).
1 high res. image.


There was one image from … on this link which he says is not correct and removed now.
Images from … are correct. I guess confusion is cleared !


Thank you … for this wonderful picture which shows the lower leaves so well.


since you have removed your image, please change the place of photography as Dachhigam, Kashmir.


The three images on the site right now:
http://www.flowersofindia.LongLeavedLettuce
are your images from Kullu, as mentioned on the page. I will add the latest images you sent, from Dachhigam (I presume), soon.


Yes


Actually it is Harwan area bordering Dachhigam sanctuary.
