Thanks Usha di.
I always thought it is an exotic. Most of the sites say that it is native of eastern Africa.

seed packets in usa even forty years ago used to say its Indian
i was not reading botany papers then
last i bought  seeds was  about ten years ago
have not had the energy recently

now CABI says its  a weed of concern  worldwide

think of it
even 30-40 years ago a seed packet of 10seeds used to cost 2 to 3 dollars
because they said it was exotic , from India
now its a weed of concern!!!

yes you are right its native of Africa per CABI

Regards
Ushadi

Now , this species is one more example of one popular name applied to more than one plant / flower ...
in this case " Black Eyed Susan " is also shared by  Rudbeckia hirta .
