Ind. 13: 155. 1995. (Fig. 25, A-F). An undershrub, up to 1.5 m tall, branches hoary, terete obscurely striate. Leaves sessile, 1-7 x 0.3-2 cm, oblong-oblanceolate, mucronate, coriaceous, pubescent on both surfaces, margin entire or serrulate, obscurely dentate at the apex, strongly nerved, minutely pubescent on both surfaces. Capitula ovoid or campanulate, 3-5 mm in diameter, arranged in compound terminal corymbs; phyllaries 2-3 seriate, outer ones purple tinged at the apex, broadly, obovate, obtuse, entire, pubescent, 2.5-3.5 mm long, silky pubescent, inner linear entire, 4-6 mm long. Florets pink, outer female florets many, filiform, disc florets tubular, few, 4-18, bisexual but functionally male. Anthers caudate. Cypselas small, white, linear, glabrous; pappus setae 20-26, distinctly connate at base. Regards Tanay” “I wish to differ from Pluchea lanceolata on account of following- 1. It is not an undershrub, instead it is 2.5 tall shrub 2. Leaves are not sessile and oblong, they are petiolate and elliptic The plant is recorded to the north of gangetic plains. I feel that the plant is Vernonia divergens Edgew. Regards, Shrikant” "Mind the other characters of V.devergens i.e. Leaves in the upper branches, flowering twigs small....heads in much brached penicled corymbs....verify please Satish" "Not Pluchea lanceolata for sure, the leaves are much broader than that. I am uploading my specimens of Pluchea lanceolata. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh" "I think it is Vernonia sp. With regards R.
