Sir, *Blumea lacera* DC and *B. laciniata* DC are very confusing to me. And i have stated it in several posts. Net is equally confused, i think.
However, FI notes, "It (*laciniata*) differs from *lacera*, in having all the leaves laciniate and from *terebinthinacea* (???) in the inflorescence and flowers." FI doesn't mention any other difference. FI further records, 1) in *laciniata* stem is striate.. 2) in *lacera* stem erect, branchy, particularly near the ground; lower leaves are petioled, lyred; the superiors ones simply oval and many times smaller. I think it is *Blumea lacera*. Thank you Regards surajit On Sat, Jun 22, 2013 at 9:44 AM, J.M.
