Leaves alternate. heads ebracteolate. Pappus is absent in Adenoon whereas it is present; short fugaceous(* * * Botany* Withering or dropping off early.) and achenes are ribbed in * Phyllocephalum*. BSI Mah flora mentions 4 species of *Phyllocephalum*. In one of the pictures I can see the underside of leaf as whitish so P. hookeri is ruled out. The outer involucral bracts are not cordate at base: 1)pappus hairs reddish: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... . *P. tenue* 2)pappus hairs white or yellowish ... ... ... ... ... *P. scabridum* All features can't be seen here. But this is likely to be *P. scabridum.* Dr Satish Phadke On 16 June 2013 14:56, J.M.
