Pennsylvania Cudweed, Pennsylvania everlasting;\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Annual herb, up to 25 cm tall, slightly branched, leaves simple, spathulate, white tomentose especially on lower surface; capitula in short clusters; involucre bracts with white hairs; cypsella, pappus hairs white,<\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
As per efi thread<\/a> :<\/div>\n
\n
Leaf surfaces of different colour, upper white hairy, lower almost glabrous; basal leaves persistent at anthesis; inflorescence spicate, lower glomerules of heads often pedunculate …… Gamochaeta purpurea<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Leaf surfaces not markedly different; basal leaves withered at anthesis; heads in spicate panicles, densely wooly 2\/3 from base …….. Gamochaeta pensylvanica<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
It is true that the three species are very close, Gnaphalium purpureum<\/span><\/i>, G. pensylvanica<\/i> are shifted to genus Gamochaeta<\/i> on the basis of pappus being connate at the base, <\/span>whereas in Gnaphalium<\/i> they are free at base and fall individually<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
This is what Flora of China<\/u> writes about Gnaphalium polycaulon<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
“Similar to Gamochaeta pensylvanica<\/i><\/span>, this species differs by its more compact habit, oblanceolate leaves, and free, separately deciduous pappus bristles more dilated at apex<\/span>.”<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Herbs, erect, upto 50 cm high; stem, with thin, white cottony tomentum. Leaves spathulate, narrowed at base, broadly rounded and shortly mucronate at apex, entire, 1-7 x 0.1-1 cm, puberulous on upper surface, white pannose on lower surface. Heads in short spicate clusters, ca 2 mm across; peduncle ca 1 mm long. Involucral bracts 3-4-seriate; outermost brown, occasionally pink at apex, oblong-spathulate, obtuse-acute, with white woolly tomentum at base. Ray florets female, with filiform corolla, ca 1 mm long, pink at mouth. Disc florets bisexual, ca 2 mm long, 5-toothed. Achenes oblong, ca 0.5 mm. Pappus hairs white, united at base.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I think Gamochaeta purpurea<\/i> (= Gnaphalium purpureum<\/i>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Tropicos treats Gamochaeta purpurea<\/i> (L.) Cabrera under the synonymy of Gamochaeta americana<\/i> (Mill.) Wedd., whereas The Plant List treats them separately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Your mystery plant is not Gamochaeta purpurea<\/i>, earlier described under the names Gnaphalium purpureum<\/i> or G. pennsylvanicum<\/i> (some times treated distinct Gamochochaeta purpurea<\/i> and G. pennsylanica<\/i> as per GRIN or one species Gamochaeta purpurea<\/i> as per Kew List). That plant grows commonly in Delhi and uploaded by me at FOI. It has leaves which are velvety on both sides, though much more sensely below. FOI<\/a>
\n<\/span>Your plant has leaves which are <\/span>clearly green on upper surface, a feature of Gnaphalium hypoleucum<\/i> (still under the same genus)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I think it is close to images at\u00a0Gamochaeta\u00a0pensylvanica<\/em>\u00a0(Willd.) Cabrera<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I also agree with you<\/p>\n

Pl. check with <\/span>Amaranthus blitum<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Thanks … This seems possible but my pictures are perhaps not sufficient to show all characteristics. From what I can see from my photos, the leaves have no stalks and inflorescence happening predominantly at the top.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

This is a Gnaphalium <\/i>sp. as … have pointed out..!!<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Thank you … I am looking at the keys but haven’t reached a positive ID yet.\u00a0I am hiking up today and will try to see the plant more closely.<\/div>\n
\n

Thanks, … Pl. check Images by Alok Mahendroo<\/span><\/a> under Pseudognaphalium hypolecum<\/i> <\/i>(DC.), O. M. Hilliard & B. L. Burtt<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … This is close. I will post better photos tomorrow hopefully.<\/p>\n

\n

Some additional images from Sunday.\u00a03 images.<\/p>\n

\n

This looks different from the specimens of Pseudognaphalium hypoleucum<\/i>\u00a0from India as per GBIF<\/a>–\u00a0one<\/a>,\u00a0two<\/a>,\u00a0three<\/a>,\u00a0four<\/a>,\u00a0five<\/a>.
\nI think this may be\u00a0Pseudognaphalium luteoalbum<\/i>\u00a0as per keys in\u00a0Flora of Pakistan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Flora of China<\/a>,\u00a0POWO<\/a>,\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens<\/p>\n

\n

On further consideration, I think it is close to images at\u00a0Gamochaeta\u00a0pensylvanica<\/strong>\u00a0(Willd.) Cabrera<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
