This set of photographs is same as in - https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/0zsO88myJgE, and it is pending...!


I think peduncles and phyllaries are stipitate glandular (is that what it is called?).

If yes it should be Sonchus arvensis L. ssp. arvensis.

Thank you
Regards

Attaching account of all Sonchus species of India in Flora of India vol-5 (Asteraceae) by Botanical Survey of India.
Hope it will be useful for identification of Sonchus in your area.

Thank you very much Rawat Sir.

The attached files inform me that there is no S. arvensis L. in India.
Instead it will be S. arvensis auct. non L. (S. wightianus DC.); and this very much echoes FoC. In that case it will be S. wightianus ssp. wightianus.

However, this plant is -
  1. S.orixensis Roxb. in FI.iii.402
  2. S. arvensis L. in FBI.iii.414
  3. S. arvensis L. in Bengal Plants.i.629
  4. S. arvensis L. in The Botany of Bihar and Orissa
  5. links of all above - http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/name/Sonchus_orixensis
Thank you once again

Regards
surajit

Garg Sir,

The problem is resolved.
There is no S. arvensis L. in India.

Thank you,

Thanks, Surajit ji,
That means we should move efi page Sonchus arvensis to S. wightianus DC.

Yes, Garg Sir, as per BSI docs S. wightianus DC. is the safest option.
Same applies to remaining two threads relating to this plant.

Thank you very much
