Thank you Tabish ji. I am attaching my photo of what I think is Pilea umbrosa. The leaves are larger, flowers on frilly forking spikes. The sample I posted had smaller leaves and flowers clustered around the stem. Please advise.

Ashwini

Thank you Anil ji. The flowers were not on a stalked disc but hugging the main stem so it isn’t likely to be L. peduncularis. Attached are photos of Lecanthus peduncularis.

I think neither Pilea umbrosa not Lecanthes. It would be interesting to know this plant.

Thank you Dr Singh. I have the same opinion. I will see if I can trek to Triund in the coming days and look at the plant more closely.

I think Pouzolzia zeylanica

https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topicsearchin/indiantreepix/Pouzolzia$20AND$20zeylanica$20AND$20var./indiantreepix/uUKTw-lFRfw

I must mention that P. zeylanica on Flowers of India is wrongly identified. It clearly has alternate leaves, whereas Pouzolzia hs opposite leaves.

Thank you Dr Singh. The pattern of flowers is very similar to my sample. You mention that there is a great variation in this species. Is it why the leaves on my specimen are very different, being ovate and toothed in stead of narrow and entire in your sample? Please advise.

Thanks and regards,

Ashwini

I think this will also be Chamabainia cuspidata as identified by Dr. Fu in another email.
