Another feedback from Ashutosh ji from another post <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/T24FVRlH_IQ/m/WD0x7qq_AAAJ>: The plant shared by Sam ji looks different, particularly the pubescens in leaves is very less (it's not tomentose) and I can see some of the spike-like heads are narrow, cylindrical and more than 3 times longer than broad. Additionally in his plants the inflorescence is pale colored and not dark purplish, so his plant may not be *C. scaber* though it's tough to confirm without floral dissections. As per the below mentioned key his plants are not even completely matching the other species *C. wightii* as the inflorescence is not 3-6 branched in his plants. Spike-like head ovoid to ovoid-cylindric, less than 3 times as long as broad, purplish in appearance when dry; axis usually simple, rarely 2 - 3-branched; fruiting calyx tube purplish-brown villous - *C. scaber* Spike-like head long and narrow cylindrical, more than 3 times as long as broad, black in appearance when dry; axis usually with 3-6 branches; fruiting calyx tube white villous - *C. wightii* Thanks and regards Ashutosh Sharma
