The most crucial feature identifying S. raphanifolius is reddish brown pappus. Perhaps a fruiting head would have helped. *Also the species is very near to S. chrysanthemoides and also differentiated by 12-16 ray florets as against 8-12 in S. chrysanthemoides. I can count mostly 9-12.* -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> Date: 5 September 2012 12:43 Subject: [efloraofindia:128763] VoF Week :: DV :: 31 JUL 12 - 1228 :: Senecio ¿ raphanifolius ? at Auli To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> [image: ... view from Auli]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7763927364%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfJV0xiDZWC1109G8uvUV7imydqcA> 31 JUL 12 Auli ... 8750 - 9000 ft ------------------------------ Dear friends, ID please. *Habitat*: sloping meadow *Habit*: herb about 40 - 50 cm high, flower 20 - 25 mm across (not sure, could be lesser) [image: Senecio ¿ raphanifolius ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7760582566%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzeYFRm9g-URq9kBJ8TdTDUcCw3cCw> [image: Senecio ¿ raphanifolius ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7760403396%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzeiFTuAyTfB3XRVEDLW2SSaQg1PtQ> [image: Senecio ¿ raphanifolius ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7760396142%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzcJLmAFrSfVxUiYlGFdI50K2sbmRQ> [image: Senecio ¿ raphanifolius ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7760389342%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdmAs701M-BfBKb5KgZf85h-IytHg> Regards.
