Dear Sushmita,
Beautiful flowers - thanks for the continuing show!
These look like species of Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis). These two
pictures could easily be different species - the leaves seem different
in the two.
The first one could be Anaphalis margaritacea
http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Western%20Pearly%20Everlasting.html
The flowers are not yet open.
The second one could be Anaphalis busua or Anaphalis contorta. I am
assuming that some of the flowers are actually open, but the petal-
like white bracts remain erect and do not spread out, which is a
characteristic of these two species.
Cheers!

Dear Tabish,
Thank you again for your enlightening response and the ID.
When I looked at the two photos again (after posting them), I did notice the difference in the leaves. I have another similar one (I think), which I am attaching (Garg-ji, please excuse me for crossing my posting limits - doing it simply because it is relevant to this discussion).
Shall I go ahead and take Anaphalis margaritacea as confirmed for the first one? And await confirmation on busua or contorta?
Regards,
Sushmita Jha

Dear Sushmita,
This one is completely unrelated to the previous ones. It should be
a Spermacoce species. I would make a guess, Spermacoce pusilla, but it
has to be passed by Dinesh. :)

Oh dear Tabish, I am far far away from that status, at least not in this life :) especially in this case I think I am on a trial !!!!
... I believe it to be S. pusilla. (my attempted ID: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=91314344@N00&q=Spermacoce+pusilla&m=text)
... BUT dear friends, please validate. There are chances that it could be S. ramanii.
Regards.

Well, I don't know about other species, but it is unlikely to be
Spermacoce ramanii. I read that the two species, although being quite
similar, do not interbreed because of separated flowering periods. S.
pusilla flowers from July to September and S. ramanii flowers from
late October to November. Although Sushmita's picture is named
"..Oct08- 062..", the EXIF information shows that it was taken on 28th
September.
Cheers!

Dear Tabish and Dinesh,
thank you so much for your enlightening conversation about pusilla and ramanii! God, there is so much to learn in this beautiful world!
For some reason I labelled all my North Bengal pix as Oct08 (it was over 1-4th) We started our trip on 26th Sept. EXIF caught me out and just as well if one is to determine through such a fine (flowering) line betweeen the two species.
I eagerly await the next chapter of this interesting conversation!
Thanks again.

Tabish,
shall I take the ID as Spermacoce pusilla? And which of the two photos? What about the other one, given the difference in the leaves?
Thank you.

Looks to me like Mitricarpus hirtus, I am not sure if its a synonym of
Spermacoce pussila.

Navendu,
Seems to agree very well, better than Spermacoce pusilla. Synonyms
of Mitracarpus hirtus :
Spermacoce hirta, Spermacoce villosa, Mitracarpus villosus
Cheers!

Tabish,
where can i find photos of pusilla, villosa, villosus and hirta? I have spent quite a lot of time looking for them but obviously I am doing something wrong!
Here is a link to a flower which I thought could be the third of these spermacoce series. Would appreciate your (and other expert) views.
Many thanks.

Sushmita,
Search for Mitracarpus hirtus, which is rge currently accepted name
of the plant - you should find many images - Spermacoce hirta,
Spermacoce villosa, Mitracarpus villosus are synonyms.

I did a google search by each of those names and went into all kinds of sites without success of finding photos with which I could compare my photos.

Thank you, Tabish. The pictures in this site resemble the third one I sent in this chain - not the first two pearl type of flowers. So I am assuming the last few exchanges of this email chain are on that photo and not the first two originally posted.
Thank you for your patience with my ignorance.
