Dear All,

Again an Anaphalis sp. shot from Chakrata in a different period of time.... compared to Anaphalis 1 posted for id...this looks similar to that one..can this be sorted out?

All Anaphalis are really confusing. Its good that you have documented many of them so nicely that some day we will reach to conclusion.

I also hope so Satish Ji...certainly I will keep a closer look this time to get any conclusive pics..thanks for your nice words...

Anaphalis are indeed difficult to identify. Providing a key for identification of common species.

Keys for common Anaphalis species in West Himalaya, based on Naithani (1984):

1a. Involucral bracts acute, spreading in flowers

  2a. Head diameter 1.2-2.5cm

    3a. Leaves 1.2-5 cm long; involucral bracts ovate-lanceolate

      4a. Lower leaves spathulate half amplexicaule....A.cuneifolia

      4b. Lower leaves obovate-spathulate, contracted at base.. A.nepalensis

    3b. Leaves 5-10cm long; involucral bracts ovate-lanceolate acute...A.triplinervis

  2b. Head diameter 0.6-0.8 cm

          5a. Stout roots, plants woody based, twisted, with many short branches having linear    spathulate leaves, involucral bracts with a broad brown claw....A.xylorhiza

          5b. Root woody but stem not twisted, many, involucral bracts white ....A.royleana

1b. Involucral bracts, obtuse, erect in head

        6a. Lanceolate leaves

          7a. Leaves thin, lower surface cinnamon red or grey...A.margaritacea

          7b. Leaves thick, lower surface white ...A.adnata

        6b. Linear leaves

            8a. Leaves 3.8-5 cm long

               9a. Basal lobe long, decurrent, involucral bracts elliptic oblong, 2-2.5 mmlong...A.busua

               9b. Basal lobes narrow, apiculate, involucral bracts linear oblong, 4mm long ...A.virgata

           8b. Leaves 1.2-2.5 cm long, basal lobes short ...A.contorta

HOWEVER, to follow keys plant specimens, rather than pics, are more desirable in addition to basic ground in Plant Taxonomy.

Thanks a lot Rawat Ji for your efforts, I will try to make use of this data for my present posts..and you are absolutely right in saying that only photographs cannot be decisive, identification can be achieved in field through actual examination of the specimens..but some basic things should be there to keep in mind...thanks again for providing relevant points to look for while trying to distinguish different specimens of Anaphalis..

I think it is close to the images and details at Anaphalis busua (Buch.-Ham.) DC.
