Thanks Samir for working out to get the references used for arriving to *C. diversifolius*.
Yes, Shrikant ji's 3rd book does show a picture of *C. diversifolius* matching posted plant's flower. Let us view a link related to *C. caudatus* in Wikimedia ... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cosmos_caudatus and the herbarium link ... http://quod.lib.umich.edu/h/herb2ic/x-mich1108998/MICH1108998.TIF Somehow the content at both the links provided by you / me match the posted plant. We thus need someone to help us understand which of the two species was introduced in India. Regards.
