Mr. Mahadeswara is right to the point that it doesnt look like Asteraceae and in no ways it looks like Fuschia either (not even distant relative). But there was a time when a family was erected called Lactucaceae where this group was placed as they looked differently, but they were merged back to asteraceae later on. This is undoubtedly Prenanthes brunoniana as Prashant sir says! Pankaj
