"May be Launea secunda

I could not find Launaea procumbens Roxb. in Flora Indica.

There is one, Prenanthes procumbens Roxb., which is a native of Bengal (FI. iii. 404), which is L. nudicaulis Less. of FBI and Bengal Plants, which is unresolved in KEW, looks similar to Brachyramphus obtusus DC., syn. of Launaea nudicaulis (L.) Hook.f. of KEW,

and

which further is 1) Launaea procumbens (Roxb.) Amin of KEW, 2) Launaea procumbens (Roxburgh) Ramayya & Rajagopal of FoC, 3) Launaea fallax (Jaubert & Spach) Kuntze of IIIM.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit

Good morning

In Launaea secunda Clarke, heads are "1/3 inch long narrow in subsessile racemed subsecund clusters, as in - http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000808056 (source - http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?imageId=384399&pageCode=1&presentPage=1&queryId=1&sessionId=1F574B474092F3C1B35102383AD07452&barcode=K000808056) 

Any other difference between L. secunda Clarke and L. nudicaulis Less.?

Regards,

surajit

This has already been listed as L. procumbens.

Thank you

Forwarding for ID

Distributed as Launaea species- Shimla

Two species are reported from that area

L. procumbens with decumbant habit and achenes much shorter than pappus 

L. secunda with erect habit and achene as long as pappus

Habit is not clear but in atleast one achene in figure 4, both are seen which suggests L. secunda
