Hi, Bimal ji,

Was it cultivated or wild.

If cultivated, pl. check Gymnanthemum amygdalinum (Delile) Sch. Bip. as per comparative images at Vernonieae‎ and as per details at Vernonia

If it is wild, Vernonia extensa is a synonym of Gymnanthemum extensum (Wall. ex DC.) Steetz in checklist of Nepal.

Pl. check

Flora of China FoC illustration Specimen in GBIF Biodiversity of Bhutan Catalogue of life (India (Sikkim, Darjeeling, Assam, Manipur), China (Yunnan, Guizhou), Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar [Burma] (Chin, Kachin, Sagaing, Shan), Bangladesh)

Strobocalyx esculenta (Hemsl.) H.Rob., S.C.Keeley, Skvarla & R.Chan (syn: Vernonia esculenta Hemsl.) is not reported from India

Thank you Garg ji.

It's not cultivated.

Lalithaji has identified it as vernonia esculenta.

With regards,

Bimal
