Reply from Another thread:   Please take a relook to the post - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/JhpZOXx1LCI/discussion (https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topic/indiantreepix/JhpZOXx1LCI). "Similar to B. lacera but easily distinguished by the small heads, purplish flowers....." (F. B.I.) "Heads numerous, pappus white, heads more or less clustered..... corolla purplish... leaves obovate, irregularly toothed or serrate...." (Bengal Plants) I think the above post is of Blumea wightiana DC. Thank you, Regards, surajit
