Sonchus arvensis L. does not grow in India, and the species reported as such by Indian authors (auct. non L.) is Sonchus wightianus L. There are two subspecies in India subsp. wallichianus (DC) Boulos occurring in Bihar and Assam with glabrous stems and white tomentose heads and subsp. wightianus with glandular hairy stems and glandular hairy heads occurring throughout India. There is no mention of S. maritimus L. in Flora of India, probably because although it was reported in Flora of British India, It occurs in Peshawar and westwards, not in Indian boundaries. 2. Species described by Haines (Botany of Bihar and Orissa 2: 522, 1922) as S. arvensis L. var. glaber Haines differing from S. wightianus in glabrous stems, heads neither glandular nor tomentose and having simple hairs and oblong-oblanceolate achenes is now known as S. brachyotus DC. occurs in foothills of Himalayas ascending to 3500 m. 3. Both S. oleraceus and S. asper are widely distributed in India. 4. S. jainii Chandrabose et. al. in JBNHS 81: 149-151, 1984 is very distinct in basal leaves in spirals (not rosulate) and pappus heteromorphous. It occurs in Tamil Nadu on Grassy slopes of W. Ghats.
