Hi Dinesh, Pravin's photograph may be of Wedelia glauca. It is a spiny weedy herb which causes bleeding in the mouths of grazing animals due to injuries inflicted by the sharply pointed awned leaf apices [Source - Dr.Almeida's ' Flora of Maharashtra' Vol 3]. Regards, Neil.

Many thanks to Stephen and Singh ji for setting the name right. Would like to extend this thread by another query: Do the flower, leaf in Pravin ji's photo look different ? I see the leaf is coarse dentate than fine serrate, the flower centre does not seem to be of Wedelia (my view). The calices and stalks of our flowers, they too look different. I have attached more photos for comparison. Regards. On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 12:59 PM, Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> wrote: Many thanks, Neil ji ... I am sure Ingalhalikar ji must have taken note of this errata. Dear friends, my ID query remains at Neil ji suggesting it to be Wedelia urticifolia. I need validation because I see W. urticifolia different at FOI -- http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Nettle%20Leaved%20Wedelia.html Dear Tabish, your thoughts on this query. Regards.

Wadelia urticaefolia is how it is spelt in Ingalhalikar's 'Flowers of the Sahayadris'.

Stephen, please correct me if it has got to be only urticifolia. Regards.
