Sir, "Bengal Plants" has 13 *Blumea*, of which we should have -
1. *B. amplectens* DC. = a small bushy herb 2. *B. bifoliata* DC. = do 3. maybe *B. oxyodonta* DC. = a slender decumbent herb 4. *B. wightiana* DC. = with purplish corolla<https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/4QIBEiuWmIY> (plz. note The Plant List differs) 5. *B. glomerata* DC. = *Conyza fistulosa* Roxb. = a rather slender, erect, much branched herb 6. *B. lacera* DC. 7. *B. laciniata* DC. 8. *B. membranacea* DC. = *Conyza diffusa* Roxb. = a tall, erect, usually much branched herb I note some info on the last one, *Blumea membranacea* DC. - While *B. membranacea* DC. in FBI (vol3, p265) is "common throughout India", *Conyza diffusa* Roxb. of FI (vol3, p429) is "a native of Bengal" !!! The Plant List recognizes the above as two different taxa - 1. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/gcc-107401 2. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/gcc-23075 FoC doesn't recognize *Blumea paniculata* - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=104121, neither does GRIN - http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?1520 Can this be *Conyza diffusa* Roxb.?
