Tabish ji had doubted the identity of this plant. I have seen a lot of these plants growing in California, and after studying them in detail I am convinced that the plant is not T. densum at all. I am also not able to fix it with any species of Tanacetum on the net, or even in Hortus Third or any other literature available with me..
The identity of these specimens ramains unresolved. Kindly help in solving the riddle. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
