Flora of Chakrata 2012: Tragopogon gracile for Validation:

This herbaceous composite with beautiful inflorescence was shot from various places (Deoban Road-near spider’s colony and Chakrata-Budher caves road) during our latest trip to the area, in May 2012. I could reach to identification with the help of Flora simlensis, and I think this should be Tragopogon gracile D. Don. I have attached the page 289 of Fl. Sim. having description of this plant as a reference…

Please help to validate/rectify the identification….
P.S. The name of pics should be read as T. gracile and not T. gracilis, sorry for the ignorance

I think yes. but correct epithet is gracilis, since -pogon is masculine gender, gracile is neuter, gracilis masculine or feminine.

Cichorieae ??

Please check this leaf structure…

Tragopogon gracilis I hope, though white florets seems to be an aberration, they should be yellow, though I have also clicked heads with reddish tinge very similar to your second image.

Soft linear leaves suggest Tragopogon only.

At maturity flowers turns purplish in colour. Will send few more photographs tomorrow

Awaiting more images. Leaves appear a bit different from those at Tragopogon gracilis D.Don

22 images.

Does it resemble with Podospermum sp.

Does not seem to match with the species listed at
https://efloraofindia.com/2012/05/04/scorzonera/ (Podospermum)
Also I ruled out other species found in India as per details at Tragopogon
I think it is Tragopogon gracilis D.Don only as per GBIF specimen one and two.
