Wild plant ID request - RK13 - 14-Oct-2012

[Rashmi Khiani]

Hello all,

 

I often saw this wild plant growing by the roadside near Karjat region. Some of the leaves were twice and thrice as big than the one held in the last photo.

Thanks a lot Mr Reddy ji for your response. I don't have any more
photos of this plant and it was not flowering, hopefully somebody
would be able to throw more light. Tks.

Hi,  This does not look like Elephantopus scaber to me; my photographs of which are available at this link :    https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!search/Elephantopus$20scaber$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/1r6aSRDrgSw/nrHewztdLjkJ    It is definitely a species of Blumea possibly Blumea eriantha a strongly aromatic herb fairly common around Bombay and at Karjat. Sending a few of my photographs taken at Shahapur.                                With regards,                            Neil Soares.   --- On Mon, 10/15/12, Rashmi Khiani <rashmi...@gmail.com> wrote:

Thank you so much Neil ji. I'll surely remember to check for the
fragrance next time. Thanks also for sharing the lovely pics.

Dear Neil ji,

I happened to come across this plant again ... this time I crushed a
leaf and it emitted a strong smell somewhat like Ajwain. Is it the
odour you were referring to?

Kind regards, Rashmi

[Neil Soares]

Hi,  Have no idea what Ajwain is. Maybe someone else could take this call. To me it smells like the ? herb they put in the middle of a Mc Donalds burger.                         With regards,                           Neil Soares.

Thnks Neil ji. Ajwain is a very common spice known as bishop's weed,
caraway or carom seeds acc. to wikipedia. I have no idea about the
contents of the burger ;-(
