Thank you Surajit ji for spending so much time and effort on the analysis...
Yes I agree, the photographs do not show all angles of the plant....will try to be more organised in future, though it is a bit difficult when you are travelling with family who is least interested in plants :) I went through all posts of B. oxyondonta and B. eriantha from our database. My personal view (a layman's view) is that it looks closer to B. eriantha than B. oxyodonta but it looks closest to an unidentified Blumea post by Dinesh ji from Kulang-gad <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/75El5zcBKaQ/1ZCSr76aKcAJ> Hopefully, we get some inputs from the experts...
