Ajit,

Such a pretty flower. Please look at Centaura. I cannot be certain as the foliage is not clear to my eyes. 

Thank you,

I have no idea of this beautiful looking flower.

However, I fail to connect it with any of the BSi species list - http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=5099&type=3 of Centaurea.

C. cyanus L. is cultivated and an escape (as per BSI) but basal leaves in that sp. is entire or remotely lobed (ref. Flora of North America).

Thank you

Ajit ji,

Perhaps if we could see the foliage of your plant isolated from the surrounding vegetation we might be of  more help. Did you take any additional photos?

Thank you,

Respected All,
    The beautiful looking flower is Adenoon indicum aka Blue Sonki (Asteraceae ).

I saw it last week (5th October) at Kaas Plateau,  Maharashtra.
The leaves at 6'o clock with serrate margin are the leaves of the flower.

Also, Ajit Sir has uploaded the image on Wikipedia page of same flower. Link here

Noorafsha

Hi All,

Apologies as i could not access my mail for some time as i was travelling. I got the ID of this plant and as rightly identified by Noorafsha, its Adenoon indicum. Thank you all for the help

very nice flower colors

I am a bit confused

On wiki page it says it was submitted as Adenoon indicum on 3rd October 2015 at 5:34pm by an author named Forestowlet.

then how come Noorafsha who gave us a definitve diagnosis on 10 10 2015

sometime in the afternoon say it was by our own Ajit A .

Thanks Noorafsha for the ID. My confusion is not with you .

My confusion is with sequence of events  for asking of ID help here ( on 1st october 2015) , submitting to WIKI with definitive ID ( on 3rd October 2015)  no definitive diagnosis here and gargji putting it up to experts ( on 9th of October 2015) and Norrafsh diagnosing it here (on 10 10 2015)

the dates do not jive.... somehow ...

If it was not diagnosed until 10 10 how did it get submitted to wiki on 3 10 2015??

I am sure there is a simple explanation

I'll like to clear up my confusion

thanks
