Sir,

It is Gazania rigens (G. splendens), not G. linearis, for the later should be yellow or orange only. Do not know other differences.

Sir,

Please have a relook at the plants in this thread, as per the key in - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/6_Nef_VKkpA/cJKWtwfKQwgJ.

I'm attaching bigger pictures.

Though the leaves in these plants are variably involute, the same can be seen in http://keyserver.lucidcentral.org/weeds/data/03030800-0b07-490a-8d04-0605030c0f01/media/Images/Gazania_linearis/gazania%20linearis12.jpg (source : http://keyserver.lucidcentral.org/weeds/data/03030800-0b07-490a-8d04-0605030c0f01/media/Html/Gazania_linearis.htm)

Sir,

You provided the difference between the two species of Gazania in the thread - https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/6_Nef_VKkpA/m/-I99ZI3SMFcJ.

One key point of Gazania ringens is presence of white spots at the base of ray florets (which is absent in G. linearis) - https://keyserver.lucidcentral.org/weeds/data/media/Html/gazania_rigens.htm. These white spots are absent in my flowers.

Yet, I agree with Santosh ji and Rawat ji, it is G. ringens, because it is cultivated and involucre is similar to those at lucidcentral site.

Thank you

With regards

surajit koley

[Mahadeswara]

I had  grown a few here a few years back.

[surajit koley]

Thank you, Sir ji, the lucidcentral site says hybrids of the two taxa, ringens and linearis are also thought to be present in naturalized population. I wonder if these ornamentals came from those hybrids!

Thank you

With regards

surajit koley
