Yes Ushadi ji Flower colour is same, but not leaves which are much more rigid in that, heads generally sessile, singly or two or three together, and more importantly achene does not have a beak and pappus of small palea and not long hairs as in this case. That is why I had asked alok ji to send me photographs of fruit. By the way we had published in 1972 a paper how we can identify composits from achene structure. I will upload it soon.
