Dear Tanay A lot of good work has been done on genus Acmella recently, especially in Taiwan. Here is the link
http://ejournal.sinica.edu.tw/bbas/content/2008/1/Bot491-11.pdf <http://ejournal.sinica.edu.tw/bbas/content/2008/1/Bot491-11.pdf>This paper mentions all important species except Acmella calva. In fact I had uploaded identified (got verification from authors of this paper) specimens A. uliginosa from Delhi on our website. I was not able to find characters of A. calva. As per information given by you A. calca should have discoid heads. The plant here has clearly cone shaped rayed heads, discs orange yellow in colour. This identifies this plant with A. uliginosa -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
