Respected Dr. Gurcharan Singh Sir and Dr. Nidhan Singh Ji This plant is confusing me for the last 3-4 years. Some of its characteristics are matching with Tricholepis elongata (as suggested here by Dr. Gurcharan Singh Sir) and some with Serratula pallida. My photographs are more near to recently named species Tricholepis raghavendrae, except for flower colour. It is pale in my case but purplish in Tricholepis raghavendrae. But all the available literature for this area points towards T. elongata. Hope some conclusion will emerge soon.
Attaching a paper which may be of some help. http://sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/a2003n2a9.pdf Regards ANIL THAKUR On Thursday, 6 June 2013 08:46:17 UTC+5:30, Gurcharan Singh wrote: > > Very good photographs Nidhan ji > > -- > Dr. Gurcharan Singh > Retired Associate Professor > SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 > Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018. > Phone: 011-25518297 Mob: 9810359089 > http://www.gurcharanfamily.com/ > http://people.du.ac.in/~singhg45/ > > On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 8:04 AM, Nidhan Singh <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> Dear All, >> >> Please validate the identity of this rough, erect, perennial herb shot >> from Morni Hills in Haryana, also spotted near Kosani..I hope this should >> be *Serratula pallida DC.* >> >> -- >> Regards, >> >> Dr. Nidhan Singh >> Assistant Professor >> Department of Botany >> I.B.
