No question of this plant being Myriactis wallichii. I wonder how can we believe a species which has often been treated as synonym of M. nepalensis (differing just by shorter habit, smaller heads, linear ray florets, elliptic-lanceolate leaves) can be so different. The large foliaceous bracts outside the head are very distinctive as are longer involucre. We should be looking for a different genus.
