Dear Shubhada,

Just wanted to bring it to notice.....

In your last photograph, (Tricholepis amplexicaulis leaves Hill thistle Asteraceae 2009_1108_cec_0057 e.JPG) the leaves prominently seen are of sapling of Garuga pinnata. The leaves of Tricholepis amplexicaulis are in the background (narrow ones).

Cheers,

- Swapna.

Dear Swapna,
yes. u r right.
thanx for clearing my confusion.
when i downloaded the pics at home and checked with the pics from Issac's book i was confused.
I knew for sure that someone from the group would comment on this. I am sorry i should have raised my doubt in my mail.

Garg ji,
shall i resend the pics after deleting the last 3 pics of leaves?
Cheers,
Shubhada

Dear Shubhada,

I note that leaves are not auricled, the plant is not stout (2 mts
high), the head is smaller than 3 cm and the bracts are not with long
recurved bristles. I think that the plant is T. glaberrima. T.
amplexicaulis grows at high elevations. Regds
