¿ Lamprachaenium microcephalum ?

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear friends,

 

Requesting ID of Asteraceae plant growing at Vaghbil, Thane (Maharashtra).

Habitat near creek side lining rice fields and mangrove.

The erect much branched herb standing about a metre high, with slightly woody branches.

 

Two sets of photos attached: (1) 17 NOV 09 and (2) 18 DEC 08.

Number of photos too many ... hoping to make it easier for ID.

 

Referencing Shrikant ji's FFOS, putting my own wild guess: Lamprachaenium microcephalum (quite a tongue-twisting genus name !!)

 

Regards.

[Adittya Dharap]

Hello,   This one is something else, and not Lamprachaenium microcephalum. Am attaching images of Lamprachaenium microcephalum for comparison. Lamprachaenium microcephalum is commonly called Purple blue heads. The leaves are tomentose beneath.    best regards   Adittya Dharap   --- On Wed, 11/18/09, Dinesh Valke <dinesh...@gmail.com> wrote:

Thank you very much for the ID, Satish ji.
Hoping Shrikant ji and Rajdeo ji puts their responses for validating this ID.

Regards.
Dinesh

[rajdeo singh]

 Satishji,

   This is the photo of Blumea solidaginoides (Poir.) DC. The plant which is to be identified is not Blumea solidaginoides.

Rajdeo ji ... please consider giving your thoughts about Shrikant ji's response:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Dinesh, the Asteraceae found in saline fields seems to be Blumea atropurpurea Haines. I need to have the herbarium image or the original description to match the specimen. If you can retrieve the following,

1. Bot. Bihar & Orissa 469. 1922 [2:492.1961 (Repr.)]
2. Fl. Ind. Enum. Aster. 14. 1988
3. J. Econ. Tax. Bot. 14:732.1990
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Regards
Dinesh

We have Haines flora here, if Rajdeo doesnt have the access, I will
scan and share the pics soon.

I will go for Blumea obliqua (L.) Druce as per images, details and references herein.

Blumea atropurpurea looks different as per GBIF specimens
