This robust species of Asterceae<\/i> was shot from way to Valley of Flowers from Ghanghariya<\/font>… wanted to know the id.. previously identified as Erigeron alpinus<\/i>… wanted to reconfirm.. interestingly flowers show resemblance with those of Eclipta alba<\/i>… will be happy to get id..<\/p>\n

\n

Brachyactis robusta<\/i><\/font><\/a> as per earlier discussions in efi.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes … It was a very interesting long thread in which it was almost decided as Myriactis wallichii<\/i> till I noticed large foliaceous bracts characteristic of Brachyactis<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Erigeron acris<\/i> var. multicaule<\/i> as per another thread<\/font><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As per another thread<\/font><\/a>:<\/div>\n

It is correct that the synonym of Erigeron acris<\/i> var. multicualis<\/i> is Erigeron alpinus<\/i> var. multicualis<\/i>. Ergigeron acis var. multicualis has been mentioned the recently published Flora of Gangotri National Park Western Himalaya by Dr.P.K. Pusalkar and D.K. Singh. <\/b>The authority has been mentioned in the book is as Erigeron acris<\/i> var. multicaulis<\/i> ( Wall.ex DC) C.B. Clarke, Compas. Ind.:53.1876; Hajra in Hajra & al. Fl. India, 12:118.1995. Erigeron multicaulis<\/i> Wall. ex DC., Prodr.5: 292. 1836. E. alpinus<\/i> var. multicaulis<\/i> ( Wall.ex DC.). Hook f.,Fl. India 3: 255.1881. The images of Erigeron alpinus<\/i> var. multicaulis<\/i> and Brachyactis pubescens<\/i> now Neobrachyactis pubescens<\/i> is also attached.<\/p>\n

Can it be Brachyactis anomala<\/i> (DC.) Kitam. as per High resolution specimen<\/font><\/a> at GBIF<\/font><\/a>\u00a0?<\/div>\n
Flora of Bhutan gives the following details:<\/div>\n

Check out Myriactis wallichii<\/p>\n
\n

<\/i><\/div>\n

I do not think it matches with herbarium specimens at GBIF<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
After lot of exploration I too finally think that it should a Bractyactis species. Some involucral bracts becoming large like leaves is an unmistakable character. Neobrachyactis anomala<\/i> is the closest identification, in my opinion. The distribution and altitude also agrees with it. Please see the following links:<\/span><\/p>\n

VOF Week: Herb for Id from the Valley 2012:<\/font><\/a> This one was shot from the main valley<\/font>?…which Composite is
this…the plant was nearly half a meter in height<\/font>….<\/p>\n

\n

May be Myriactis<\/i> sp??<\/p>\n

\n

Too much close up of Aster albescens<\/font><\/i> ?<\/p>\n

\n

I think this is Erigeron<\/font> alpinus<\/i><\/font>.
<\/font>Wonderful catch!
…, do you have a picture of the lower leaves?<\/p>\n

\n
Sharing the photograph of same sp.<\/p>\n
\n

May be this pic of any help<\/p>\n

\n

The leaves of Erigeron alpinus<\/i> are supposed to be oblong to spoon-shaped. I think your plant agrees well with that.<\/p>\n

\n

Wow …, Look at the similarity of your picture with that taken by …:
http:\/\/www.flowersofindia.net\/catalog\/slides\/Alpine%20Fleabane.html<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Thanks a lot … for getting to ID….I have this picture of a leaf…not the basal one though..<\/p>\n

\n
Erigeron alpinus<\/i>, although described in some older Indian Floras, as understood now occurs in Europe, Africa and in Asia only in Caucasus.<\/font><\/div>\n
Most Indian varieties in FBI are now treated differently,<\/font> even the type variety as per Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal:<\/div>\n
