Sir, in all literature, new or old, *Lactuca decipiens* C.B.Clarke (*Melanoseris decipiens* (C.B.Clarke) N.Kilian & Ze H.Wang) has been described as an erect herb.
According to Clarke - "Caulis 2-4 pedalis ...", meaning, I think, stem 2-4 feet. Surprisingly, Flora of British India, Compisitae Indicae, Plants of the Indian Himalayan Region ... none describes flowering season. As per one other document the flowering season is *July to November*, in Kashmir, a time that covers almost all *Lactuca* / *Melanoseris* spp. Thank you Regards Surajit Koley On Mon, 19 Jul 2021 at 11:49, Saroj Kasaju <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Surajit Ji, > > I have found the same plant ( I guess ) in Nepal also ranging from > 2200-2700m. > Plant is not erect but scandent ( dangler) like earlier.
