I have been struggling with the identity of this cultivated plant from
Kashmir for last three months, more so after I found it grown very commonly
in California also. My four day trip to Shashta mountains helped me to solve
the mystery of this plant as well as the Rugus I uploaded from Kashmir.
I think I have found an answer. It is *Jacobaea maritima (L.) Pelser &
Meijden*) (syn: Senecio cineraria DC.; S. maritima L.). Common names
Dusty-miller, Rag-wort, Silverdust. Please validate
Here are a few links:
