After coming back home I found that my dilemma is there on Flowers of India website. Chromolaena odorata figures on this website with two photographs: one by dinesh ji (which matches C. odorata of FNA eflora: Leaves 5-10 cm long, 1-4 cm broad, involucre 8-10 mm, heads 5–50, corymbiform; apices of the inner sometimes slightly white-petaloid or expanded ), and one by Girija ji (which matches mine and C. frustrata of FNA: leaves mostly 1.5–4 long, 0.7–2.2 cm broad, , heads usually in clusters of 2–6; involucre 5.5–7.5(–8) mm, apices of the inner not petaloid or expanded). I tried to look for all plants in our garden. All leaves were shorter than 5 cm and narrower than 2 cm, inflorescence with few heads. It matched very well with C. frustrata and the photograph uploaded by Girija ji from Delhi. Your comments are solicited.
