Asteraceae Week Part I-Radiate heads:-Phyllocephalum tenue : Attachments (1). 2 posts by 2 authors. There appears to some problem with its nomenclature. The Plant List gives it as unresolved- Phyllocephalum tenue (Clarke) Narayana (Unresolved), “in Curr. Sci., 51(8): 439 (1982):” 439 1982. India Biodiversity Portal gives it with Centratherum tenue C.B.Clarke as syn. Taxonomic revision of Centratherum & Phyllocephalum (pdf) (Jan. 1981) treats Centratherum tenue C.B.Clarke as a syn. of Phyllocephalum scabridum (DC.) K.Kirkman. at page10. Further The Plant List gives Centratherum tenue C.B.Clarke as a synonym of Phyllocephalum scabridum (DC.) K.Kirkman In view of all this I think this may be finally Phyllocephalum scabridum (DC.) K.Kirkman. or issue may be resolved by the experts.

ID021009phk1 – indiantreepix | Google Groups Asteraceae Week (Part II – Discoid heads) :: FOR ID ¿ Phyllocephalum scabridum ? near Koraigad :: 15 OCT 10 :: DV43 : 3 images. 6 posts by 3 authors. ¿ Phyllocephalum scabridum ? (DC.) K.Kirkman Place, Altitude: near Koraigad, Lonavala (about 2000 ft asl) Date, Time: 15 OCT 10 03:39pm Habitat: wild, scrub forest along roadside Habit: herb, about 1.5 – 2 m, flower-head about 15 – 20 mm across. … the number of (bract-like) leaves beneath the flower-head is less compared to those in my earlier post, Another what looks like a difference to me is the many-branching of stem at the top. Would this be some species other than scabridum OR would this be some genus other than Phyllocephalum ? I think it’s the same species as the other post. I have sometimes noticed the flowers are sometimes variable in size and fullness as well. I have collected Phylocephalum scabridum from SGNP , which however looks different from this sps. I think the plant posted by me from Mulshi and not yet IDed is also the same. I will repost it again I have labelled the plant as Phyllocephalum scabridum. Many thanks to … for similar thoughts.
