Sir, Heads in this plant do not have glandular hairs. BSI restricts *S. wightianus* ssp. *wallichinaus* in Bihar and Assam.
So, it seems to be *S. brachyotus* DC. (syn. *S. arvensis* L. var. *glaber* Haines) as per BSI distribution (HP, Punjab, MP & AP) Thank you, Regards, surajit . On Sat, Jul 20, 2013 at 8:35 PM, J.M.
