After upload by …, and looking at keys in eFlora of N. America I have concluded that our Delhi plant is in fact subsp. cucumerifolius<\/b><\/span><\/i> having erect habit and very long peduncle.<\/p>\n

A sapling, seems to be Helianthus debilis<\/i> Nuttall subsp. cucumerifolius<\/i> (Torrey & A. Gray) Heiser<\/span><\/a>, @ Rs.10 on the 30th March.<\/p>\n

Last photographed on 20th April.<\/span><\/div>\n
Passed away on the 26th.<\/div>\n
\n

Cause of death : Unknown (possibly a stray cat jumped and crashed over it)<\/p>\n

Thanks\u00a0… for this further exploration. This plant is very commonly cultivated in Delhi and often runs wild and may be found on garbage dumps or waste places. When I came to Delhi in 1975, some one introduced this plant to me as Viguieria helianthoides<\/i>, and this went on for many years till a few years back when I identified it as Helianthus debilis<\/i>. It is good that you mentioned subspecies cucumerifolius<\/i>, and after seeing key in eflora of N. America, I realised that plant grown in Delhi is actually this one only.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks once again for update.<\/p>\n


\n

Good morning Sir and thank you very much. Initially it was a tough fight between debilis<\/i>\u00a0and tuberosus<\/i>. Single capitulum and long attenuate apex of phyllary, as described in FoC, helped.<\/p>\n
